Financing an education has its (tax) benefits.

Saving for a college education and borrowing with MEFA's low cost loans are both smart decisions. Especially when you consider the potential tax advantages:
  • If you file a tax return and owe taxes, your family may be eligible for tax credits including the American Opportunity Credit and Lifetime Learning Tax Credit.
  •  Tax deductions are expenses that you may report to reduce the amount of your income on which you are taxed. You can deduct interest on student loans and interest on tuition and fees.
