LSS Center for Financial Resources (CFR) has announced the certifications of Sara Ramirez, Randy Rehling and Jesse Hall as student loan counselors.
Ramirez, Rehling and Hall are three of CFR's eight certified consumer credit counselors, all of whom are now specifically certified in student loan counseling through the National Foundation for Credit Counseling.
While already experienced in working with student loan debt, Ramirez sees the benefit of the new certification. "We have helped people with student loans for a long time," she said, "but this certification helps us better serve our clients and hopefully makes people more aware that help is available."
All NFCC participating student loan counselors are experienced, NFCC certified credit counselors and have completed specialized training that covers the full inventory of student loan programs associated with repayment, forbearance or other loan modification options. In addition to the training requirement, NFCC student loan counselors have earned specialized certification. Along with the credit and housing counseling certification already recognized for setting the highest standards, the NFCC student loan counselor certification is regarded as the most thorough and comprehensive certification process for student loan counselors in the country.
Additional information about the scope of the NFCC student loan counseling program can be found at studentloanhelp.org. To learn more about CFR, call the office at (605) 330-2700 or visit www.LssSD.org .
