AIE Provides
Free Training Guide for Students
College is an exciting,
important time for expanding your horizons and preparing for your career and
life to come. On the financial front, earning a college degree is also one of
the best investments out there.
As with all investments,
however, college requires you to pay in up front in order to reap the benefits
down the road. For most students, that means taking out student loans. While
it's easy to take advantage now of money you won't have to repay until later,
eventually those bills will start rolling in.
Here's where that time machine
comes in handy. Learning about student loan repayment now can help you cruise
into your future armed with knowledge, so you'll be ready when your payments
come due.
To give you that tour of things
to come, AIE provides a free online training guide called Six
Things You Should Know About Repayment Plans. This short
presentation teaches you the essentials of how student loan repayment works,
including:
- Where to find a complete list of
your federal student loans
- What the basic repayment plans
are
- How income-based repayment plans
compare
- How to apply for each plan
- What to do if you have trouble
making payments
