Are You ‘Drowning in Debt’? Check Out EJW’s June Webinars (and Get the Deets on Last Month’s Promotion Winner!)
From our friends at Equal Justice Works:
Thank you for the overwhelming response to last month’s promotion for our student debt e-book, Take Control of Your Future. We’re happy to announce that C. Lee of Brooklyn, NY was the winner of the $100 Amazon gift card!
Even if you didn’t win (we never win anything either!) we still urge you to purchase Take Control of Your Future. At only $5.99 it won’t break the bank, and it’s an incredible resource for anyone who has (or constantly gets asked) questions about borrowing, repayment or forgiveness for federal student loans.
In other news, our free June webinars are:
Drowning in Debt? Learn How Government and Nonprofit Workers Can Earn Public Service Loan Forgiveness
Wednesday, June 12, 3-4 p.m. EDT
Thursday, June 27, 3-4 p.m. EDT
A must attend for anyone with educational debt planning to work or currently working for the government or a nonprofit, this webinar explains how you can benefit from income driven repayment plans, including President Obama’s new Pay As You Earn program, and exactly how Public Service Loan Forgiveness works.
While you’re waiting for the next webinar, catch up on all the student debt news at the Student Loan Ranger. Last month we reviewed the proposals in Congress to halt the imminent doubling of interest rates on subsidized Federal Direct Loans, examined the student debt struggles of service members, and took a look at a proposal to simplify the student loan system (that would be nice!). This month’s topics include the effect of the upcoming budget battles on education and take a look at if (or how much) the Department of Education profits on student loans.
