Money management

calculatorWith a little discipline, creativity, and advice from Nellie Mae, you can make your limited college budget go further.

 

Debt Management EDvisor is Nellie Mae's online financial management tool for college students like you. It provides guidance, strategies, and self-awareness exercises for understanding and overcoming bad spending habits and debt accumulation.

In most cases, you do not have to make payments on your student loans while you're enrolled in college or graduate school at least half time. (Parents may be required to make payments on a PLUS Loan or private loan while you're in school.) It's good to know in advance about your repayment options, including postponing payment and consolidating your student loans.

Several tax benefits and saving plans are available for students and their families paying for school. See the tax and savings benefits for higher education, including a link to additional resources.
