Educational Loans

Student Loans are an attractive option for parents considering private secondary education for their children. Financing your child's education with student loans can allow you to make low monthly payments over a period of time.

The Aspen Institute for Behavioral Assessment is pleased to offer parents assistance with the loan process. Shauna Clark provides personal, hassle-free assistance throughout the loan process. She is often able to secure funding for all your educational expenses such as escort services, ancillaries, and enrollment fees.

Reasonable interest rates (amortization over 20 years) will allow families to finance their child's education with affordable monthly payments. In some instances payments can be deferred for up to 6 months. Loans have no prepayment penalty or cancellation fees. Shauna has personal experience with struggling teens and understands the additional burden the financial peace can bring.
