Student loan rules are changing, and borrowers may be wondering what those changes mean for them. With new repayment options, changes affecting current borrowers, and questions about loan forgiveness, it can be hard to know what applies to your situation or what to do next.
Woodward Hines Education Foundation (WHEF) is making those conversations easier with The Student Loan Guide, a podcast that offers clear, practical information for Mississippi borrowers and families.
In the first episode, What Changed, and What Student Loan Borrowers Should Do Now, WHEF talks with student loan and financial aid experts, including the Mississippi Office of Student Financial Aid, about the changing federal student loan landscape and what borrowers should be thinking about now.
What does this mean for you?
The episode explores questions facing both current and future borrowers, including how recent changes affect repayment options, what borrowers enrolled in the SAVE Plan should consider, and what to know about Public Service Loan Forgiveness.
The conversation also addresses a common concern with policy changes: how to spot student loan scams and distinguish reliable guidance from misinformation.
Whether you're already repaying student loans, helping a student plan for college, or considering borrowing for the first time, knowing what questions to ask and where to find trustworthy information is an important first step.
