Americans collectively owe more than $1.6 trillion in student loan debt. Seemingly every demographic is affected and many individuals are struggling to repay their share.

The struggle is real and for Black students, the facts reveal a higher education experience that often includes: 

• Borrowing student loans more often

• Borrowing student loans in larger amounts

• Graduating less often

• Earning less after graduation

• Experiencing more difficulty in student loan repayment

The result for many Black borrowers is paying more for education without reaping the maximum benefit. In Borrowing While Black, Dr. Tisa Silver Canady, a collegiate financial wellness expert and advocate who has personally advised students and their families on the repayment of more than $50 million in student loan debt, issues a call to action for the educational empowerment of Black student loan borrowers. It is imperative for each student to become acquainted with the realities of the current system and be strategic about their borrowing as overcoming the debt is essential to building wealth.
