Description
Student loan debt is higher than it has ever been.

A Student Loan Counselor helps alleviate the anxiety of student debt by teaching clients how to manage their student loans.

Our Student Loan Counselors:

- Know strategies for handling student loans
- Counsel those struggling with student debt
- Educate clients on options for managing student loan debt

Please note: To enroll in the Student Loan Counseling Certification Program one must be an active member of NACCC. To become a member of NACCC one must hold either the Certified Credit Counselor or the Financial Health Counselor designation.
