What is a Student Loan Sherpa?

The name Student Loan Sherpa is an homage to the legendary Sherpa guides of Nepal, revered for their expertise leading climbers up Mount Everest.

The goal of this site is to draw from many years of personal experience with student loans in order to guide borrowers who are navigating their own mountain of debt.

Dealing with student loans can be scary and overwhelming. By offering insight that can only come from experience, we hope to make it a little more manageable.
