CLIMBING MT. DEBT - ACVIM CANDIDATES

LEARN HELPFUL LOAN REPAYMENT STRATEGIES FOR YOUR SPECIFIC STUDENT DEBT SITUATION

The pandemic forbearance benefits have ended. Student loan interest and payments have restarted. A number of changes have taken effect already and more are expected next summer, like the updates to REPAYE called SAVE, updates to PSLF and the phase out of PAYE. 

ACVIM and VIN Foundation are collaborating on this webinar series for specialists, presented by VIN and VIN Foundation Student Debt Education team members Tony Bartels DVM, MBA, and Rebecca Mears, DVM.

Choosing the right student loan repayment strategy for your situation can save you a ton of time, money, and stress — a concept VIN Foundation calls Repay Wiser.
