Ease Student Debt

Construction Executive recently released a great article on easing student loan debt written by one of our Knoxville partners, Sam French. Construction Executive is a magazine that reaches more than 50,000 contractors and construction-related business owners and has won more than 15 editorial awards. Since first being published by Associated Builders and Contractors Services Corp. in 2003, the magazine has served as the leading source for news, market developments and business issues impacting the construction industry.

Here are two tips from the article on paying down college debt:

1. Putting all student loans into one consolidated payment might make sense, but could have costly strings attached. Know the facts before refinancing federal student loans into a private party loan, such as with a bank.
2. There are programs through which federal student loans can be forgiven, but some form of public service work is required. Find out more at ibrinfo.org/what.vp.html#pslf.
