Notre Dame Federal Credit Union Pays Off Member’s Student Loans
Notre Dame, IN (PRWEB) July 30, 2013 -- United States’ student loan debt is at an all time high. The Federal Reserve of New York reports student loan debt at $966 billion as of the fourth quarter of 2012. This staggering amount surpasses both auto loan and credit cards, making student loan debt the largest form of consumer debt outside of mortgages.
Notre Dame FCU’s President and CEO, Tom Gryp commented, “We are in the Financial Empowerment Business. Many of our members expressed that overwhelming student loan debt was preventing them from achieving their future goals and we wanted to help by paying off one lucky member’s student loans.”
Notre Dame FCU is thrilled to announce Katherine Murdza as the winner of Notre Dame FCU’s $15,000 Student Loan Payoff Sweepstakes. Katherine has been a Notre Dame FCU member since her freshman year in college. She is now a Peace Corps Volunteer in Panama in the Teaching English program. She lives in a small town and helps six English teachers at the local school to improve their pre-K through 9th grade classes.
When asked how winning the sweepstakes affects her, Katherine responded, “Winning the Student Loan Payoff Sweepstakes will be a huge help to me and my family. It will allow me to focus on being a Peace Corps Volunteer and attending grad school. This also will help my parents to more easily send my three younger siblings to college.”
