Description:
Student loan repayment has become an overly complicated and unwieldy system, confusing borrowers with too many redundant options and processes. Navigating this terrain is no easy feat. This presentation will breakdown and clarify student loan repayment options, and cover best practices, short and long term planning, and loan forgiveness. Potential policy changes to federal student loan repayment programs, such as Income Driven Repayment and Public Service Loan Forgiveness, will also be discussed.
