Graduated Payment Plan

Graduated payments are a relatively new idea that can help reduce your monthly payments.

According to a study done by the State public Interest Research Group (PIRGs) Higher Education Project, the average graduating senior has about $17,000 in student loan debt.

That is approximately twice as much student loan debt than was the case 8 years ago.

That number only includes student loan debt, not other desbts related to students, like credit cards or car loans.

Graduated payment plans help people that have student loan debt.

Graduated payments start lower than a normal student loan debt payment, then the graduated payment goes up at a predetermined rate.

Graduated payments are great for epople who do not have a job right out of school and have student loan debt, but expect to havea job soon.

Graduated payment plans are also great for people who are expecting a promotion or pay raise soon.

Graduated payments help keep your student loan debt manageable until you are making enough money to make larger payments.
