2023 STUDENT DEBT RELIEF VIRTUAL CLINIC Dates

Save The Date! All classes will be held virtually via Zoom.

Do you feel you are drowning in Student Loan Debt? Let our IFT field staff directors assist you to learn of a program to reduce the burden of your student loan(s). This will help all who attend to better understand the federal student loan reduction and public service loan forgiveness program and to realize this is available not only to teachers, but also to ANY educational employee. These clinics are FREE to our card-signed union members as a benefit of being part of the Union. You are encouraged to bring your union peers with you.

Please choose the Student Debt Clinic that best meets your needs:

Full Clinic – This 90-minute program will take you through everything you need to know to manage your student debt. The program will introduce Income Driven Repayment (IDR) Plans, Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF), legislative updates, and next steps for you. If you are a recent college graduate, or if you took Parent Plus Loans to help your child graduate recently, this Full Clinic is the program for you.
