From PSUFA - AFT Local 3571
We will be offering A Student Debt Clinic, Thursday May 18, 12-2pm, Art Building Room 240, 2000 SW 5th Ave.
Pre-register to attend our student debt clinic HERE. Registration is first come, first serve, and we must cap attendance for a single clinic at 50 participants in order to ensure that we are able to provide maximum assistance to attendees.
Over 20 million people in the United States are struggling to make their monthly student loan payments, and millions more see economic and personal opportunities pass as they prioritize paying down their debt. Does this sound like you or someone you know?
Many of these people may qualify for free federal programs that can help reduce their monthly payments and eventually lead to student loan forgiveness, but these lifeline programs are significantly under-enrolled. In an effort to help our members get access to these programs, PSUFA and the American Federation of Teachers are proud to host a Student Debt Clinic which will provide information on how to enroll in Income-Based Repayment programs and Public Service Loan Forgiveness. Please note, these programs are only available for people who have federal student loans (either FFEL or Direct Loans). Limited information will be available to assist people with private student loans. If you are unsure whether your loan is a federal loan, visit http://nslds.ed.gov/. You will have to login, and this website will list all of your federal student loans.
