I believe that through the interview process you uncover the reasons students desire to get an education. By refecting on their reasons and showing them the benefits and how the education can meet their needs and desires, you can then justify the investment they are making in loans.

One way to allievate their fear of student loans is to present your school's default rate. That will give the student a better idea of how your graduates are doing and that they are able to find jobs so they can pay those loans back.
I also believe that they are scared they will never be able to pay them back after school.
I would agree I really think that most of our students are really not educated about student loans and how they work.
I think that they are scare because they are not educated about them, and they have the fear that they are never going to repay them. When ever the loan issues come up the best thing to do is take them over to the FA department and allow them to educate the prospect about loans.
