WASHINGTON—Credit Union Student Choice will host the next installment of its popular quarterly national webinar series on Feb. 7, 2018.
Led by Student Choice’s College Access Counselor, Tricia Poplicean, the webinar will focus on student loan refinancing and answer the most common questions asked by consumers. Sessions will be held at 1 p.m. ET and 6 p.m. ET.
“With more than $1.4 trillion dollars in outstanding student loan debt, consumers are searching for ways to save money and make student loan repayment more manageable,” said Poplicean. “While refinancing student loans can sound like an appealing option, it may not be right for every borrower. During this webinar, we’ll help people understand the pros and cons of refinancing so they can make the best possible decision for their own personal situation.”
The webinar, titled “Should I Refinance My Student Loans?” is free and open to the public. Topics will include:
- Understanding types of student loans - federal and/or private
- Understanding interest rates and terms of student loans in repayment
- Student loan consolidation vs. student loan refinance
- Student loan refinance options
- What is your payoff strategy?
- How much could you save by refinancing?
After the webinar, participants may also contact Poplicean for a one-on-one consultation via phone or email. To register, visit www.studentchoice.org/national-webinars.
Educational webinars and on-site seminars from Student Choice have allowed thousands of attendees to learn about a wide variety of important education finance topics, ranging from completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to student loan repayment strategies, Student Choice said.
