Student Loan Payback Assistance Program

“ As a small business owner , I appreciate the support . This student loan payback program is an example of why Iowa is a great place to work and live !”
- Dr . Ashley Susie
What is it ?
The Clinton County Community Student Loan Assistance Program was created to help ease the financial burden of student loans while recruiting and retaining top talent into Clinton County through a progressive debt relief initiative .
The Clinton County leadership team understands that the $ 1.5 trillion in student loan debt shouldered by over 45 million Americans serves as an impediment to economic growth in rural counties . Investment in the purchase of a home , vehicle , or the starting of a family , may be delayed due to the financial burden of student debt .
Individuals enrolled in the Clinton County Community Student Loan Assistance Program will receive $ 30 a month toward the payoff of their student loan debt for up to five years . Eligible candidates have the opportunity to receive additional contributions through an established partnership with the cities of Clinton , Camanche , and DeWitt , and community school districts .
