Gesher Human Services Webinar for Michiganders Struggling with Student Loan Repayments
Gesher Human Services, one of the largest human service agencies in metro Detroit, is offering a free webinar to Michiganders struggling with student loan repayments now that the three-year payment moratorium has ended. The nonprofit organization, which offers financial education to metro Detroiters, has been receiving calls from worried families unsure of how they will cope with finding hundreds of dollars more each month out of their already-stretched incomes. A report by Education Data in 2022 showed that Michigan residents had a student loan debt of $51 million, with 52 percent of them under the age of 35.
The average student loan debt was $36,116, with 14 percent of Michiganders being burdened by student loans. The free webinar will be available via Zoom on Fri. Oct. 6 from 1 – 2 p.m. with registration available at bit.ly/gesherstudentloans.
