MEMBERSHIP BENEFIT TO HELP YOU SIMPLIFY AND NAVIGATE YOUR STUDENT LOAN SITUATION
Because you are an AFT member, we are doing something more immediate—giving you a free subscription to Summer, a trusted online platform that can help you simplify and navigate your student loan situation.
You can sign up here to start saving today. It only takes five minutes to get started!
Summer is already working with union members like you to help them save on their student loan payments. Late last year, a test group of AFT Michigan members got early access to Summer, and more than 3,000 educators across the country have begun to work on income-driven repayment or loan forgiveness online.
Whether you have no idea where to start, or just want to confirm that you are in the right repayment plan, Summer is here for you.
What would you do with less student debt? Do you qualify for full or partial forgiveness of your loans? Should you consolidate? The Summer tool and team, working closely with the AFT’s student debt experts, will guide you through all the options to consider, help you with recommendations and decision-making, and handle all of the paperwork. Yes—less paperwork!
As a member of the AFT and AFT Michigan, you are not alone. We also support members through our student debt clinic program, which we can bring to local unions anywhere in the state. Let your local president or field staff know if you want to bring a student debt clinic to your local.
We wish you the best in 2020, and we hope you’ll take advantage of this extraordinary new member benefit.
