Know a student who you think would be a great representative of George Fox University? Encourage them to apply to be an admissions intern for the 2015-16 school year. This internship can be done for academic credit or as federal student employment.

The business and communications experience alone make it a worthwhile resume-builder. The internship affords the opportunity to build relationships with current students, prospective students and their parents, and the admissions staff.
Applications are available in the Office of Undergraduate Admissions on the second floor of the Stevens Center and are due by 5 p.m. on Friday, March 20. Questions can be directed to Dorothy Miranda at dmiranda@georgefox.edu.

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.
