About NYSUT Student Debt Workshops

We know how stressful and complicated it can be to navigate your student loans. It's difficult to get straight answers. That's why we've created a series of in-person workshops for NYSUT members, so you can get straight answers to your student loan questions.

Workshops are led by Cambridge Credit Counseling and offer our members the following: 

  • In-person presentation from a student loan counselor to help you better understand the various student loan repayments options with a focus on Teacher Loan Cancellation and Public Student Loan Forgiveness programs. 
  • Opportunity to schedule a free counseling session with a certified student loan counselor.
  • Free access to a student loan portal that will quickly identify all of your options and provide a detailed action plan that you can then discuss with a certified student loan counselor.
  • Q&A session following the presentation to address your specific questions.
