EDCAP helps individuals in navigating the complexities of the student loan system. In our podcast, we delve into contemporary topics surrounding higher education financing, addressing concerns affecting both current and prospective student loan borrowers. As seasoned experts in student loans, we have assisted thousands of borrowers in securing millions in debt relief through our personalized counseling services. The Education Debt Consumer Assistance Program (EDCAP) is a program of the Community Service Society of New York.
