Plan to help struggling students

Premier Christy Clark has delivered another program in her Families First agenda,  aimed at helping struggling students pay off loans.

Speaking in Richmond today, Clark says the Repayment Assistance Plan will help 20 thousand low income students.

Starting July 1st, they will be allowed to cut back the interest owed on their debt.

For example, someone owing more than 40 thousand dollars could see a monthly payment rolled back from nearly 500 dollars to 87.
