About Student Loan Planner

We are the country's top experts in figuring out exactly what to do with monster student loan debt. If you owe $20,000 to $1 million in student loans, we can help you in one of two ways.

If you owe more than double your income, might be using the Public Service Loan Forgiveness plan, or are unsure if refinancing or forgiveness is the right path for you, book the consult.

If you already know you should pay back your loans rapidly, then feel free to use the refinancing links. Those are free to use.

Our story

Student Loan Planner® was founded in October 2016 by Travis Hornsby after he helped his wife and her friends figure out their six figure student loans. Travis was working as a bond trader at the time and utilized his skills with Excel to build models for how to save money paying back student debt.

When Travis and his wife tackled her debt from med school, there were not a lot of resources available for professionals like her. Most of the sites that did exist encouraged refinancing just so they could earn a commission. Travis was inspired to create a trustworthy company with a team of certified professionals who care about more than commissions.

All of Student Loan Planner's team members hold the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), Certified Financial Planner™ (CFP®), or Certified Student Loan Professional (CSLP) designations. Our team has a passion for conquering debt's hold on your life and mental energy.
