Careers at Graduate Leverage

In 2003, a group of Harvard Business School classmates launched Graduate Leverage (GL), a student run organization with the goal of helping fellow students manage the challenges of student loan debt. The consultative approach proved extremely beneficial to borrowers as thousands of graduate students around the country began to signup for GL's free information service.

Recognizing an opportunity to help students further lower the cost of their student debt through the use of collective bargaining, GL initiated a platform allowing it to function as an intermediary on behalf of students to secure better terms and rates. This innovative approach combined with personalized debt management advice helped thousands of students lower the cost of their student debt.

In 2006, GL launched its own life of loan servicing platform to provide students and financial aid offices a higher level of service and accountability. Central to this launch was the belief that effective debt management during repayment is critical to mitigating cost. Thus, GL has uniquely coupled its loan programs with its proprietary servicing and advisory platform enabling students to execute cost saving strategies.

Today, GL continues to help students and families by providing innovative products and services, such as student programs and debt advisory services, each designed to minimize the cost of education related debt. Graduate Leverage is widely praised by students throughout the country.
