Student Loans: What you need to know

Wondering if Biden’s student loan cancellation announcement applies to you? Or if you qualify for Public Service Loan Forgiveness? Confused about what type of loans you have? Not sure what to do once the federal student loan payment pause ends this year?

This student loan presentation will cover the basics of student loans, repayment options, opportunities for forgiveness or cancellation based on disability, profession, or school misconduct, and the rights you have as a student loan borrower.
