UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The first of two planned webinars in October from the Sokolov-Miller Family Financial and Life Skills Center will explore student loans and how to be a responsible borrower.
Student loans are the means by which a college education is obtainable for many, but proper management, planning and selection are vital for a student’s financial wellness. Webinar attendees will learn about the types of loans, such as the difference between federal and private; the steps students need to take before borrowing; understanding the relationship between future income and current loans; and understanding the debt process.
With next year’s Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) now open, there’s no better time to brush up on student loans. The Oct. 9 webinar through the Sokolov-Miller Center is available to the entire Penn State community through this Zoom link. See the self-study modules for more details.
The next webinar on Oct. 23 will cover identity theft.
