Today’s Solutions: May 16, 2026

There’s over $1 trillion in student loan debt in the US shared among 40 million Americans. For many of them it will take years until they’re debt-free.

To give them a hand in making the right choice, a new startup, LendEDU, lists all the available loans tailored to each borrower’s situation.
