Описание: Smart Borrowing, Forgiveness Plans & Navigating College Costs
📄 Includes a free student worksheet: www.fieducator.com/student-loans

Student loans are one of the most common ways to pay for college, but most high school students (and their teachers!) are left with more questions than answers. What kind of loans should you take? How much is too much? And what if your parents can’t or won’t help?

Without solid guidance, students can easily end up borrowing more than they need, misunderstanding their options, or missing out on major benefits like Public Service Loan Forgiveness or income-driven repayment plans. These decisions can affect their finances for decades.

That’s why Meagan McGuire from Student Loan Planner (​ ‪@StudentLoanPlanner‬ ) is joining us to break down student loans in a clear, practical way. With years of experience guiding borrowers through complex loan decisions, Meagan brings her expertise straight to high school students, helping them (and their teachers) feel confident about how borrowing works and what options really exist.

By the end of this lesson, students will walk away understanding:

✅The different types of student loans (and who should use which ones)

✅Strategies to reduce borrowing and debt

✅What to do when parental support isn't available

✅How forgiveness programs and income-based repayment really work

✅How much we should be borrowing to pay for a degree

This event is the perfect one-period turnkey lesson or sub plan for teachers who want to go deeper than just covering the basics of the different types of loans, or avoiding the subject because they don't feel fully comfortable talking about it. Plus, every classroom gets access to a free student activity document to reinforce learning.
