According to Make Lemonade, there are more than 44 million borrowers who collectively owe $1.5 trillion in student loan debt in the U.S. alone. The average student in the Class of 2016 has $37,172 in student loan debt. Texas ranks as one of the top three highest states for total student loan debt outstanding among resident borrowers. Seventy percent of college graduates currently hold diplomas that came with confusing, expensive loans that will take decades to pay off. That’s why TCEA has partnered with CommonBond, a leading student lender, to bring student loan benefits to our members.
