Got Ivy League tastes on a community college budget? Nelnet may be able to help. The education planning and financing company helps students and parents plan and pay for college educations. Nelnet is mostly known for servicing federal student loans. The firm manages about $76 billion in student loan assets, most of which are government loans. However, in light of regulatory changes to the student lending market, Nelnet is increasingly expanding its fee-based education services. It serves the K-12 and higher education marketplace, providing long-term payment plans, college enrollment services, and software and technology services. The firm is part of financial holding company Farmers & Merchants Investment.
