American Financial Benefits Center Encourages Student Loan Borrowers to Consider the Value of Their Education

EMERYVILLE, Calif., Feb. 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The value of higher education is a hot topic. Writers, researchers, politicians, and the public are weighing in on the benefits of getting a degree. Some say it's not worth the cost and that focus and funding should be redirected to job training and apprenticeship programs. Others maintain support for more traditional academic learning. But what if there was substance in all different kinds of education? American Financial Benefits Center (AFBC), a document preparation company that assists federal student loan borrowers in applying for enrollment in repayment plans, encourages borrowers to consider the value of their education.

"There's a misconception that just because someone went into debt to receive an education, it was inherently not worth it," said Sara Molina, Manager at AFBC. "Especially with the options available for borrowers to manage their loans, that education might have great value."

Helping borrowers navigate and understand the available repayment options is at the core of AFBC's services. AFBC assists borrowers in applying for and maintaining enrollment in federal repayment plans. These income-driven repayment plans can reduce the monthly payment of the enrolled borrower because they are calculated based on the borrower's income and family size. Some borrowers in income-driven repayment plans have a zero-dollar payment.

With their loans under control, borrowers can focus on their careers, families, and passions — some of which might not be possible without the education they received. Whether it's a specific skillset used on the job, a new worldview, a social or business connection, or simply a credential to move up the ladder, higher education serves many purposes. The value it brings is unique to each student.

"By finding value in education, we hope former students will leverage what they've learned to be more useful to them today," said Molina. "And by keeping their loans under control, they are more likely to be able to focus on more than just paying the bills. At AFBC, we hope our clients can see their education as more than just a reason for their loans."
