Community Student Loan Assistance Program
The Clinton County leadership team understands that the $1.5 trillion in student loan debt shouldered by more than 45 million Americans serves as an impediment to economic growth in rural counties. Investment in the purchase of a home, vehicle or starting of a family, may be delayed due to the financial burden of student loan 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. Eligible candidates have the opportunity to receive additional contributions through an established partnership with county-based municipalities and community school districts.
