‘Pay As You Earn’ May Help With UM Student Loans

President Obama unveiled the ‘Pay as You Earn’ plan while in Denver speaking to college students to help ease the burden of paying back student loans. I spoke with University of Montana Financial Aid Director Kent McGowan Thursday afternoon about how the President’s plan would affect students here in Missoula. That interview is attached.

McGowan says approximately 70% of all students at the University of Montana 

 receive some kind of financial aid.
