Program Description

Event Details

Student loans are a common way to fund education, specifically college and graduate school, and they provide educational opportunities that individuals otherwise may not be able to afford.  However, in many cases, college graduates are left with a diploma and an enormous financial burden of student loan debt - and maybe no job in sight!  With Americans owing an estimated $1.2 trillion in student loans, the second most consumer debt next to mortgages, it's important that people take control of their college debts to protect their financial future.  Come learn the basics on how to navigate the complicated world of student loan payments, consolidation, and even potential forgiveness and discharge!
