Federal student loans offer benefits not available through private loans, including low, fixed interest rates; income-based repayment plans; loan forgiveness; and deferment options.
Students who attend College Goal Sunday events and register on theWashBoard.org – a free scholarship clearinghouse for Washington students – will be eligible to win a college scholarship from the Northwest Education Loan Association (NELA).
Four workshop participants will also receive $250 scholarships through a raffle.
Interlake High School is located at 16245 NE 24th Street in Bellevue.
More information about College Goal Sunday events, including additional dates and locations, is available at the College Goal Sunday website.
