Description

UMass Innovation Hub, Elisabeth Brady (Financial Planner, Commonwealth Financial Group), and Cathlynne Williams (Agent, Aflac) are proud to bring Jack Wang, College Planner, of Innovative Advisory Group, for an in-depth discussion on what the recent federal student loan forgiveness program entails, who can benefit from the program, and how and when to access the program. This current student loan forgiveness program can offer eligible young adults, families, and pre-retirees significant debt relief, which can open up financial opportunities that may have been unattainable due to college loan obligations.
