Managing Your Student Loan – Know Your Options

Date/Time
Date(s) - Tuesday February 3, 2026

Location
Online


Federal Student Loans aren’t like any other loan. Did you know, if you are struggling with your payments, there are income-based repayment plans as well as deferment or forbearance? Did you know you could get .25% off your interest rate if you sign up for auto-pay? Do you know you can work towards loan forgiveness now if you work for a non-profit, government or tribal agency? Whether you have recently graduated from college or have been repaying your students loans for a long time, join us to learn how to manage your student loan repayment. Bring your questions when you join Nikki Vachon, College Access Counselor from the Finance Authority of Maine as she will walk you through finding your loans, show you how to simulate loan payments in different payment plans and determine what plan will help you meet your financial goals.
