Helping students and their families deal with crippling student loans
STATE HOUSE – Rep. Teresa Tanzi will host a
constituent event next week to provide information on the Rhode Island Student
Loan Authority’s new education loan refinancing options.
The event is scheduled Thursday, Oct. 30, from 6
p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Maury Loontjens Memorial Library, 35 Kingstown Rd.,
Narragansett.
A representative from the Rhode Island Student Loan Authority
(RISLA) will be available to explain the educational loan refinancing and
consolidation opportunities the authority offers to help Rhode Islanders save
money on their state-based, private and PLUS student loans.
The event is free
and open to all.
“More
people need to know about these programs in order to take advantage of them,
because these programs can save them a significant amount of money over the
course of the loan, which is why I invited RISLA to come directly to our
community to answer questions and help spread the word,”
said Representative
Tanzi (D-Dist. 34, South Kingstown, Narragansett.)
“Ours
is the first community to have this important opportunity and I hope many
people are able to come and take advantage of it.”
