What is SFEPD Academy?

The SFEPD Academy is a weeklong virtual experience for high school students to learn financial education and professional development. Students will expand their horizons by working as part of a team in group challenges with others across the country. They will increase not only their financial know-how but also strengthen their communication, leadership, team building, professional development, and more! Students will compete for team and individual prizes, as well as receive a certificate of completion and $25 gift card.

Who should attend SFEPD Academy?

Students who are interested in learning more about practical applications of financial literacy are encouraged to apply. Academy participants must be rising freshman, sophomore, junior or senior heading into Fall 2024.

Deadline for Opportunity to Cancel Student Loan Debt

Many student loan borrowers have an opportunity to have their entire student loans cancelled or receive more credit towards cancellation. But there is an impending deadline that requires immediate action from certain borrowers who have student loans. While any borrower is potentially eligible, older borrowers are more likely to need to take immediate action because of the types of loans these borrowers frequently have. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is trying to reach borrowers with the information they need so that they can get their loans cancelled as soon as possible. 

Please help get the word out about the April 30, 2024, deadline. For more information, visit the CFPB site here.
