5 min read

With back-to-school season in full swing, it’s a great time to focus on building financial confidence, especially if you’re dealing with student debt. At HPE, you have access to resources and benefits to help manage your debt. Here are some tips to help boost your financial confidence while handling student loans.

1. Know your debt

First, get a clear picture of your debt. Know how much you owe, the interest rates, and repayment terms. Check out Fidelity’s Student Debt Dashboard to see how different plans affect your payments and timeline.

2. Use HPE benefits

HPE offers great benefits to support your financial health. HPE’s student loan repayment program can give you up to $9,000 to help pay off your loans. Maximizing your employee benefits can free up more of your income for debt repayment.

3. Check refinancing options

HPE team members and their family members can reduce their existing student loan debt for free with help from SoFi. Pick a loan that works for you, get prequalified online in minutes, and once approved, SoFi pays off your current loan servicers and issues you a new student loan with one low-rate monthly payment.
