As graduation nears, so does the reality of student loan repayment. For many students, loan repayment can be confusing and frustrating.

That is why the financial aid office is offering a Student Loan Repayment Workshop to all graduating students. The sessions will be held on the Newberg campus and will cover topics such as how to afford your loan payments, what to do if you can’t and information on loan forgiveness. To view dates/times and sign up, visit this link.

If you’re unable to attend the workshop but you’d still like help, feel free to set up an appointment with our office instead.

Questions? Contact Johanna Schweitzer at jschweitzer@georgefox.edu.
