Too many students are overwhelmed by their debt after graduation. Our new brochure, Bright Ideas: Gauge Your Debt, can help them avoid this challenging financial situation by:
Reminding students to keep their future earnings in mind when taking out loans
Helping students understand their repayment ability considering their anticipated debt and future income. Students can use the brochure to:
- Estimate their monthly payment
- Find out if their payments will be manageable or difficult
Showing students how to reduce their spending and borrowing early in their education
For students considering a career in public service, the new loan forgiveness program may be a smart option to help them pursue that calling. But make sure that your students understand all the requirements before they apply. To help them evaluate the program, we created a lender-neutral brochure, Bright Ideas: Public Service Loan Forgiveness. The brochure covers:
- Eligibility for the public service loan forgiveness program
- Approximate monthly payments
- The risks of loan forgiveness
- List of questions all students should ask themselves to decide if the loan forgiveness program is right for them
As part of our “Smart Choices” financial literacy series, both brochures are lender-neutral, so you can feel comfortable giving them to your students.
To order the brochures, just go to our Tools and Resources page and enter your order. Once the e-mail automatically generates, simply provide the name of the resource(s), the quantity desired, due date, shipping address and contact information. We’ll do the rest.
