In mid June, Jamie received word that her Plan-to-Achieve Self-Support was approved! The plan is retroactive to the date of submission (March 2012) and will set aside $698/month to be used towards college expenses, such as books, supplies, and food.
Jamie paid off old student debt using a Compensating Balance Loan offered by CWV TEL, in partership with Job Squad. Her tuition is being covered by the PELL grant and the WV Higher Education Grant. She is also hoping to receive support from WVDRS following contact with her college counselor.
If all goes as planned, Jamie will graduate with a bachelor's degree in sociology and zero student debt!
A very bright future indeed!
