New Outlook™ Entrance and Exit Guides Are Tailor-Made for Graduate Students
How would you like to equip your student borrowers with a handy written summary of everything you've told them in entrance and exit interviews? EDFUND has already created Zone In magazines to fill this need for undergraduates, and now introduces Outlook Graduate Entrance and Exit Guides that are created specifically for graduate students.
With a sleek design and magazine-style format, Outlook Graduate Entrance and Exit Guides are comprehensive – covering all the topics that graduate students need to know as they start life as non-students. And with attractive graphics and smart dialogue, they're sure to reach for this publication as an all-in-one refresher course on loan basics, long after the entrance or exit interview is over.
While both Outlook Entrance and Exit Guides feature similar information on loan types, repayment plans and calculating monthly payments, each guide is tailored for the entering or graduating student.
Take a look at some of the highlights of Outlook :
- Chart to help figure monthly loan payment
- Budgeting worksheet for monthly and yearly income versus expenses
- Who's Who in the FFEL Program Loan Process – explains the roles of guarantor, lender, servicer, ombudsman, NSLDS and more
- Descriptions of the various repayment plans
- Rights and responsibilities as a borrower
- Capitalization – what it is, how it works
- Credit card traps
- Facts about deferments, forbearance and cancellations
- List of resources – Web sites, publications and a place to record school and lender information

In addition, the Graduate Entrance Guide
(order number l-85) contains:

- Money management tips for graduate students
- Finding the best deal on private loans

And, exclusive to the Graduate Exit Guide
