STUDENT LOAN REIMBURSEMENT WITH REP. COREY PARIS: Starting January 1, Connecticut college students are now able to benefit from a bill passed in Hartford to alleviate student loan debt. The reimbursement program, led by House Democrats and the first of its kind in the nation, provides up to $5,000/year for up to four years (up to $20,000) in loan forgiveness. Six million dollars has been allocated in the current budget cycle and will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
A champion of this program, State Rep. Corey P. Paris (D-Stamford) will return to his alma mater to explain the details to faculty, staff, alumni, students, parents and the public. Paris will speak at 5:30 p.m. in Ives Concert Hall in White Hall on the university’s Midtown campus. The public is invited. The event will be live streamed as well.
