The pandemic has changed so many aspects of our lives, and it is challenging to keep up with the updates for current college students and student loan borrowers.

Shortly after the declaration of a national emergency last spring, Mapping Your Future partnered with another national nonprofit, The Institute for Student Loan Advisors (TISLA) that provides free assistance to student loan borrowers, to create StudentAidPandemic.org.

We continue to update the StudentAidPandemic.org site as additional questions come up and as additional guidance is released.

The recent changes to the site include updating the Frequently Asked Questions document and the Managing Federal Student Loans During the Pandemic session with recent information about the extension of the student loan payment waiver to January 31, 2021.

The website is a free resource for both current college students and borrowers as they try to manage their financial aid and student loans during this crisis and beyond. There is no cost to any institution to share or link to the website

Our hope is that by contributing this resource along with the other resources available, students and borrowers will find the help they need during this time of crisis.
