[Libs-Or] Webinar -- New tool to help students figure out how to pay for college

[Arlene Weible]

Greetings,

Through research, the CFPB has learned students rely on counselors and advisers to navigate big decisions about college. On July 15, the CFPB launched a new web tool, called Your financial path to graduation<https://www.consumerfinance.gov/paying-for-college/your-financial-path-to-graduation/?houx=826&fdx=340&clhx=87&trnx=324&hltx=121&entx=94&retx=22&taxx=-6&othx=385>, to help students to make informed decisions about where to go to school and how to pay for it.
With input from advisers and students, we created this tool to help students:


  *   Understand their financial aid offers
  *   Create a plan to cover the full cost of going to school
  *   Decide if they can afford their planned student debt in the long run
  *   Compare multiple financial aid offers, apples to apples
Your financial path to graduation allows students to track their plans as they evolve.


On this webinar, a representative from the CFPB will demonstrate the functions of this new tool. We hope you will recommend this tool to students in your communities who are looking for ways to figure out how they will be able to finance college.
