Hi, I'm Destra Capers. I'm the Director of Outreach at South Carolina Student Loan. You should consider getting a student loan from South Carolina Student Loan because one: we’re local! When you call us you're going to get that good old southern accent, someone that you can understand, on the phone speaking with you. We are local in Columbia, South Carolina.
Two: our outreach team does a great job traveling the state providing free educational webinars and seminars, so we are out in the community because we are South Carolinians.
Three: we have competitive rates! So if you are really thinking about not just paying for your education, but actually having the best return on your investment with your student loans, then you are going to want to pay attention to who has the best interest rate. We have four loan advisors here to assist you with that process. If you prefer email, chat, or talking on the phone, we’ve got you covered. We are here to assist you, no matter where you are in your process. We value that here; we want to be able to help our borrowers and parents really navigate that process, so don't ever hesitate to pick up that phone and give us a call.
I like to say being the Director of Outreach, we get to live in this sweet spot of leaning heavily into the heart of our mission, providing that outreach, the education that our residents need to understand as they try to navigate paying for college. So that is what the outreach team does, and we do that across the state for free. That’s the nonprofit side of us. We also have PowerEd—that's our philanthropy that provides educational grants across the state. So we are always investing in the state of South Carolina. Ultimately we want to be able to provide that education, provide those pipelines for our employers here, and keep our talent in South Carolina. We do that by only lending to SC residents or students who are enrolled in a South Carolina school. It's just that simple.
