A Day in the Life...The Series Continues
In this ongoing series, Shoptalk Online has examined the roles TG plays in the different stages of a loan, from awareness through repayment, as well as in the claims process if borrowers should fail to make satisfactory repayment on their loans. The series continues with part one of a set of articles focusing on the role that TG Collections plays in recovering loan payments from defaulted borrowers once a claim has been paid to the lender.

This, That, and the Other...

Want to make your students famous? Send their pictures in to the office of Federal Student Aid (FSA)! According to a recent announcement, the FSA School Channel is redesigning the Schools Portal at www.fsa4schools.ed.gov and is seeking pictures of students and schools to incorporate into the graphic design of the website.

School officials must ensure that they have obtained necessary permission before releasing images to FSA. For more information on this opportunity to put your school "in pictures," access the FSA announcement at www.ifap.ed.gov/eannouncements/
