Financial Aid in the News

Helping Future Millionaires Become Financially Literate (The Greentree Gazette)

"When it comes to student loan debt, there are some students to worry about more than others," The Greentree Gazette reports. "Future teachers, public defenders and social workers come to mind, because their expected incomes rarely keep pace with their mounting debts. There is another group of students who should be on the radar: medical students. While there is scant research showing that medical school debt levels are keeping students out of medicine, there is mounting evidence that rising debt levels are affecting where doctors will practice and whom they will treat. Conversations with several confused and concerned medical students on campus convinced Candi Frazier that her office should do more than exit interviews to help WVU students."
