About Us

Simply put:

Entering the workplace is difficult enough without the additional stress that can come with carrying student loan obligations. By identifying the appropriate student loan repayment option based on budget, career intentions, and other criteria specific to the individual, InsMed is able to offer professionals a holistic approach to short and long term repayment goals.

Our process for student loan counseling begins with an analysis of the financial factors specific to the individual borrower’s circumstances.
