The clinics show you how to enroll in Income Driven Repayment Plans in order to potentially reduce your monthly payments and to qualify for Public Service Loan Forgiveness. You’ll also hear updates on the latest Department of Education proposed budget, and learn how to get involved to make sure these vital programs exist in the future.
