Student Loan Repayment Program

With the rising cost of tuition, it is becoming increasingly difficult to earn a great degree or diploma and start out life “on the right foot.” Many new graduates are bogged down with a large amount of student loan debt that takes years, sometimes decades, to repay. The escalating costs of books, supplies and room and board contribute to the staggering financial burden many graduates face. Additionally, the time, effort, and stress it takes to find a good job once an individual has earned a degree can be overwhelming. With the Student Loan Forgiveness Program, students will have the opportunity to have up to $20,000 of their student loans paid for them when they work at a participating dealership.

Contact the CWEDA office for more information or have a look at the brochure.
