Loan Repayment Options Open for Online Students

Online courses in higher education are growing in popularity and reputation. Once thought of as chiefly in the domain of for-profit colleges, both public and private nonprofit schools are also increasingly offering online degree programs and students are taking them at record numbers. However, depending on the school and the program, online degrees may still be as expensive as in-person ones. Ameritech Financial, a document preparation company that helps student loan borrowers with applications for federal repayment programs, encourages former students who took loans out for an online degree to think about repayment options.
