YOUR Financial Future (event for pre-law students)

An announcement from Pre-Law Advising Services:

PLAS has put together a two-part series on financing law school. Our first program in the series is a webinar set for next Monday, March 4, 5pm, entitled “Financing Law School: Understanding Debt and Student Loans” featuring financial aid and student loan guru Heather Jarvis.

Heather Jarvis is a nationally recognized expert and speaker on the complexities of financial aid and student loans. During this webinar, she will provide a detailed overview of student loan options at the law school level, and share information about recent changes to loan repayment options, including loan forgiveness programs. This is a must-see for students entering law school. Find out more about Heather and her excellent resources at http://askheatherjarvis.com/. This event is FREE and exclusively for UIUC students. Note — PARTICIPATION IS LIMITED and participants must register in advance. To register, click on this link to the PLAS event calendar: http://illinois.edu/calendar/list/2508. Once there, select the March 4 event and then select register and follow the instructions which will ultimately direct you to Ms. Jarvis’s registration system. This is a must see, not to be missed opportunity, so register today!!!!

Do you already follow our blog? http://publish.illinois.edu/prelawadvising/ is where to look for weekly posts on events relevant to pre-law students and topics that will keep you current and at the top of the class in your pre-law journey. Because our blog is through the university’s word press system – you can’t sign up to have blog posts directly emailed to you – and we don’t want to continually bog down your inbox doing that ourselves! So the easiest way to follow our blog is to use Google Reader and search for the Pre-Law Advising Services Blog, where you can then subscribe to our blog (and say . . . the blogs of your top ten law schools . . .) and check in daily/weekly to see what is going on.

You can also follow us through our facebook group http://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/38102688195/ or our Twitter Account: https://twitter.com/UIUCPreLaw. These accounts will keep you updated on our events, but don’t have all the resources of our blog, so make that your priority for all things pre-law.

Register today for this event – and learn everything you can to keep law-school debt from dictating your future possibilities!
