Event Details

Student loan forgiveness isn't just a policy detail; it's a benefit your employees have already earned. Most independent schools qualify, which means teachers and staff have federal dollars allocated for this through the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, yet fewer than 6% of eligible public service workers have claimed relief. That's a recruitment and retention advantage sitting on the table.

We'll also show how a new tool helps your employees calculate their potential student debt relief and cut through the red tape when applying, saving them an average of $2,244 a year, money that goes straight back into their financial goals.

Learning Outcomes:

  • How to enhance your employee benefits package and strengthen recruitment and retention at your school
  • How reducing payments helps teachers and staff avoid default and stay financially stable
  • Executive Orders and what they mean for employees
  • Current student debt relief programs and who is eligible
  • Common issues with applying for and receiving student debt forgiveness

Savi simplifies student debt for independent school employees. TAIS's partnership with Savi helps independent schools strengthen recruitment and retention through student debt support.
