The Maryland Center for Collegiate Financial Wellness' 'Know More Owe Less’ project has helped educators cancel more than $1.2 million in federal student loan debt.

It’s hard to know where to turn for financial advice, and recent changes and challenges to federal student loan forgiveness and repayment programs have added another layer of complexity.

We speak with Tisa Silver Canady, founder of the Maryland Center for Collegiate Financial Wellness. The MCCFW is holding a virtual symposium on July 23rd. Registration information here.
