Private Student Loans Help Fight Rising 2009 Tuition

Do you have an extra $1,700 to spare? That's the question some colleges are asking students, parents, and families with projected 5-9% tuition increases in 2009, and more families facing tighter budgets will need to investigate private student loans from PrivateStudentLoans.com just to keep up.

Quincy, MA (PRWEB) December 23, 2008 -- Do you have an extra $1,700 to spare? That's the question some colleges are asking students, parents, and families with projected 5-9% tuition increases in 2009, and more families facing tighter budgets will need to investigate private student loans just to keep up.

"Private student loans have a more important role to fill in the financial aid process than ever before," said Jonathan Rudy, Director of Lending at Student Loan Network, a Boston-based student loan company. "Families should still explore all scholarship and Federal aid options before considering private student loans, but with tuition increases coming in between 5-9% just for next year and 4-year private colleges averaging $25,143 per year this year, private student loans may be the only way for some students to keep up with the cost of college."
