With that plan in place, you can focus on your courses and make connections with instructors and other students.

Respond to the following questions:  What is financial aid?  How do grants differ from loans?  What effect does class attendance have on funding availability? Step 2 Navigate to the Your Student Loans category of the Financial Services PhoenixConnect Community. Explore the resources provided, as well as some of the discussions shared by community members. Pay special attention to the following posts, and use them to answer the follow-up questions.  Know Your Repayment Options (https://portal.phoenix.edu/social/thread/94586)  Minimize Student Loan Borrowing (https://portal.phoenix.edu/social/thread/94695)  Creating an Educational Financial Plan (https://portal.phoenix.edu/social/thread/95046) Respond to the following questions:  What did you find about student loan repayment plans?  Why is having an educational financial plan important? Step 3 Access the Financial Plan (http://www.phoenix.edu/financialplanassignment). Enter your program,

  8. and respond to the questions. Explore the information about options for payment, reducing costs, and military students (if applicable). If you have already completed the plan as part of the enrollment process, you can use those results for this step.  Based on this plan, what is your estimated monthly payment when you enter repayment?  As a result of completing the plan, what changes can you make to reduce the amount you might borrow?
