Higher education is, for many people, the key to a brighter future.

Yet it is no understatement to say that many institutions are facing critical challenges - both at the industry level and at the institution level.

In much of the news about higher education's challenges, you can hardly read an article or analysis without a mention of student loans. In some of those news articles, student loans are the main point.

Certainly, student loans are not the cause of all of the issues faced by higher education, but may be a contributor on some of those issues.

With that in mind, the role of the financial aid office in helping students manage their finances and avoid student loan default is a critical one and possibly the key to a brighter future for higher education.
