A tablet displays a debt payoff dashboard. Overlay text introduces 'Student Loans 101' and outlines three key comparisons: Public vs Private, Subsidized vs Unsubsidized, and PLUS vs Parent PLUS loans.
This image compares Public and Private student loans. Public loans are from the US Dept. of Education, require FAFSA, and may defer payments. Private loans are from lenders, require credit checks/cosigners, have higher rates, and may require in-school payments.
This image differentiates Public Subsidized and Unsubsidized loans. Subsidized loans have lower, fixed interest, with the government paying interest while in school. Unsubsidized loans are similar but the government does not cover accruing interest during school.
👇BARE minimum you should know about STUDENT LOANS
Not all aid are created equal so it’s EXTREMELY important to know the differences among #studentloans before taking them out! I just filled out my FAFSA for 2025-2026 and here is a quick refresher if you’re an upcoming first year in university or someone returning for grad school. Best of luck to

The Real Minimum Wage Should Be $25/hr, Here’s Why
You’ve probably heard folks say “just get a better job,” but here’s the truth… it’s not the jobs, it’s the wages. America has a productivity-pay gap so wide it might as well be a canyon carved out by corporate greed. If wages had kept pace with how productive workers have become since the 1970s,
