Over 45 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, your union, the PSC, and the American Federation of Teachers are proud to host a Student Debt Clinic which will provide information on how to enroll in Income-Driven Repayment plans and Public Service Loan Forgiveness.

We will be offering a Student Debt Clinic at the following time and location:

 

WHEN: November, 12, Tuesday, 6-8 pm

 WHERE: PSC, 61 Broadway, 16^th Floor

 

To attend the Student Debt Clinic, you must pre-register 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.

If you can’t make this clinic, don’t worry – we’re planning on offering them again. If you want to help host a clinic at your worksite, please let us know!

Managing your student loan debt is the first step in taking on the inequities which plague our system of higher education, and we look forward to seeing you at the Student Debt Clinic and working together to find a collective solution to the problems of student debt and college affordability!
