The average student will graduate with a whopping $40,000 in student loans, but for those who pursued graduate or higher degrees, switched majors, or went back to school, that number can be significantly larger. Attendees learned that the first step in managing student loans is to really understand them.
HUECU’s Financial Education Services Specialist, Migdalia Gomez, presented on all aspects of student loan repayment including Federal Income based repayment options, public service loan forgiveness and loan consolidation. Providing resources for financial education is part of our ongoing commitment to improving the financial lives of the members in the communities we serve.
