Share how federal student loans have enabled you to pursue a degree in counseling! The Department of Education is considering lowering federal student loan borrowing limits for students, which could force some student towards expensive private lenders and discourage others from pursuing counseling altogether. ACA is collecting stories about the importance of these loans for enabling students to attend graduate programs and ultimately serve the community by becoming counselors.
Please share your federal student loan story. For instance,
- How have these loans enabled you to pursue counseling?
- How would these changes discourage students from joining the counseling field?
- How could changing federal student loan limits harm access to counselors by shrinking the workforce?
