 Published By: Arizona Daily Sun Author: Daily Sun Staff The Student Debt Crisis Center and Arizona Students’ Association will be hosting an in-person student debt clinic on Northern Arizona University's (NAU) campus Thursday evening. The SAVE on Student Debt Clinic includes a training and question and answer session led by Federal Student Aid facilitators, as well as an open clinic for borrowers to receive one-on-one support. Registration at mobilize.us/civicnation/event/617885/ is required to attend. It will be held from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 18, at NAU’s Health and Learning Center (824 S. San Francisco St, HLC Building, Room 2306). The announcement noted that clinics will be focused on low- and middle-income borrowers, though all are welcome to attend.
The event, which is also in partnership with Civic Nation, is meant to help Arizona borrowers understand their student debt and options for repayments or forgiveness. Those attending the clinic will receive one-on-one support to enroll in programs including the Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) Plan, lower their payments and understand available student loan resources. The event announcement noted that nearly 44 million borrowers are impacted by student loan debt, which totals $1.7 trillion across the U.S. This includes 47% of college graduates in Arizona. The SAVE Plan is a new income-driven repayment plan from the Biden Administration. About half of the 8 million borrowers currently enrolled in the SAVE Plan have a $0 monthly payment on their student debt, according to the announcement. More about the event, including how to register, can be found at mobilize.us/civicnation/event/617885/.
