Horizon Educational Resources, Inc. has been providing a full range of successful default prevention for universities, colleges, and career colleges since 1993
Our main focus over the past fourteen years has been to assist universities, colleges, and career colleges in reducing the cohort default rates. To accomplish this, Horizon has been devoted to helping students who have received loans through one of our college, lender, or servicer clients by providing continuous loan counseling throughout the life of the loan.
Horizon has developed loan counseling programs, techniques, services, and software to help achieve these goals.
Horizon clients include both public and private colleges in 13 states.
Whether your needs are in-house or outsourced in default prevention, collections, skip tracing, exit counseling, cohort challenges, or default prevention software; Horizon would welcome the opportunity to discuss your needs and provide you with a solution.
