Back By Popular Demand—AFT/PFT Student Debt Clinic!
We will be offering A FREE Student Debt Clinic at 4:30 PM on Thursday, January 30th at the PFT—but space is limited to the first 100 who register!
Dozens upon dozens of PFT members have taken advantage of this FREE debt clinic in the past—and now it’s your turn! Here’s why!
Over 44 million people in the United States are struggling to make their monthly student loan payments, and millions more see economic and personal opportunities pass as they prioritize paying down their debt.
Many of these people may qualify for free federal programs that can help reduce their monthly payments and eventually lead to student loan forgiveness, but these lifeline programs are significantly under-enrolled.
In an effort to help our members get access to these programs, your PFT and the American Federation of Teachers are proud to host a Student Debt Clinic which will provide information on how to enroll in Income-Driven Repayment plans and Public Service Loan Forgiveness.
To attend the Student Debt Clinic you must pre-register while seats are available. It’s easy!
1. Register on-line—cut and paste this link into your browser:

4. Complete the questions on the form and click SUBMIT at the bottom. All answers remain confidential and are used to tailor the presentation to best respond to the needs identified in the survey.
REMEMBER: Registration is first come, first serve, and we must cap attendance for a single clinic at 100 participants to ensure we are able to provide maximum assistance to attendees.
Managing your student loan debt is the first step in taking on the inequities which plague our system of higher education, and we look forward to seeing you at the Student Debt Clinic on January 30th, 4:30 PM at the PFT.
Let’s work together to find a collective solution to the problems of student debt and college affordability! Any questions? Please call Chris George at 412-431-5900 or reply to chris_george@pft400.org.
