A guide on how to formulate a plan based on borrowing and repaying
Use a planning calculator to help personalize your plan
A planning calculator is one of the many ways you can create a plan to borrow and repay. There are different types of planning calculators online that you can use for yourself but it is ideal to personalize one that caters specifically to what you need. To personalize a plan, you must create a way to pay for your student loans, and a way to cover the necessities such as grants, other funds, or scholarships, which sounds like a lot of planning, but it’s worth it in the end and allows you to become organized.

Being careful of how much you borrow
Now, what do you mean by being careful of how much you borrow? That means prioritizing what’s important, meaning you should only borrow for the cost of tuition, and expenses related to that. So take the time you need to subtract money that you might’ve got from the work-study, the federal loans, the grants, scholarships, and whatever savings you or your family have up there. Doing so, it can help a lot as you can be left with the amount that you can pay for flight schools!
