By Nancy Goodman, CEO, College Money Matters
College Money Matters is a non-profit organization focused squarely on the largest real-world math problem most high school students are likely to face: How are they going to afford college now – without taking on crushing levels of debt in the future?
With the current level of U.S. student debt nearing $1.6 trillion dollars, and the topic of partial student loan forgiveness making the headlines, it’s clear that for many years, neither students nor their families have had the chance to learn the realities of loans and borrowing…until it was too late.
Through its completely free website, collegemoneymatters.org, College Money Matters provides a full suite of engaging videos, articles, interactive quizzes, and even games that teach high school students (and their parents) the basics of making good decisions about applying, choosing, and paying for college.
