Finding clear answers to financial aid queries can be tricky when you’re unsure where to begin. LendEDU offers a free text hotline that provides straightforward, personalized responses to guide you in the right direction.
According to a press release, LendEDU shared the following update:
The new service is available to all starting today.
Simply text your financial aid questions to (302) 278-4037 and receive a comprehensive response within 15 minutes. Outside of business hours, expect a reply within 24 hours. The hotline is operated by the LendEDU team, with at least one representative available during business hours.
Business hours are Monday to Friday, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. I tried it after hours and received a reply within just five minutes. The answers provided are simplified, so consider them as a starting point for your questions.
Remember, the company also offers student loan refinancing and consolidation, which can be a great way to save money, but it’s important to consider carefully before proceeding. For instance, refinancing federal loans into private ones means you lose federal loan benefits, so you must carefully evaluate your choices.
If you’re unsure about applying for financial aid, finding scholarships, or exploring relief options, the hotline can serve as a helpful starting point for additional research. Try it out using the number provided above, and find more information via the link below.
