We understand the weight of student loan debt and the challenges parents face in providing higher education for their children. I’m Tajuana Herrell, the founder of Financial Aid Frenzy, and I’d like to share the personal moments that inspired our company.

As a high school senior, I received an acceptance letter to my dream school, but financial barriers prevented me from attending. This experience left a lasting mark. As a parent, I committed to investing monthly to ensure my daughter wouldn’t face the same obstacle. Years later, she, too, was accepted into her dream school. However, the staggering $89,000 cost made it impossible for her to attend. Our story is not unique – 75% of Americans grapple with the challenge of affording college education.

Even when families manage to send their children to college, it often results in significant student loan debt. This debt can be paralyzing during repayment. I personally know this struggle as I’m still repaying my own student loans. I also recognize that my daughter will encounter the same challenges once she completes her education.

These experiences fuel my commitment to addressing the student debt crisis. I’m determined to help students avoid unmanageable debt and ensure they can access the education they deserve.
