In Nevada, one in four student loan borrowers is in default. Many of them started college, took on debt, and had to step away before earning their degree.
Last week in Las Vegas, Earn to Learn's Adam Begody joined Congresswoman Susie Lee and UNLV students and leaders to launch a partnership built for those students. Through UNLV's new Destination Degree initiative, Earn to Learn will help former students resolve past-due balances, strengthen their financial footing, and return to the classroom to finish what they started. It is the first partnership of its kind for Earn to Learn.
What UNLV is proving in Nevada, the bipartisan Earn to Learn Act could make possible everywhere. Rep. Lee has reintroduced the bill as its lead sponsor, and it would create an estimated 250,000 scholarships over five years, giving students across the country a way to invest in their education without the burden of new debt.
Thank you, Congresswoman Lee, Barb Roberts, and the UNLV team for believing that an unfinished degree can still have a finish line.
