How to Get a Free Doctoral Degree

Hey Guys! It’s been awhile right?! I know but I am back and ready to give you all the information you need! If you missed it last week on my channel , I discussed how you can get a free doctorate degree. If you’ve been following my doctoral journey, then you know that I am currently working towards my doctoral degree in higher education. I recently finished all of my coursework and I am officially working on my dissertation proposal this semester. I chose to work at a university so that I could not only work with students but so that I could also receive a discounted education. In the beginning of my journey, I received a $1,600 stipend towards my courses, and I paid fees out of pocket. I also received several scholarships along the way that helped to cover most of my fees. Last year my university decided to cover doctoral degrees at 100% for all professional staff which was a major benefit. While I understand that most folks do not want to join the education world don’t let this s

More Student Loan Forgiveness From Mr. Biden?!

Alright y’all the Biden Administration is back with another poke at student loan forgiveness. This time with a complete overhaul of the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program also know as PSLF. This overhaul could provide immediate relief to over 22,000 folks!  PSLF is for eligible workers within public service i.e. police officers, government workers, and teachers who made 120 payments (10 years) on the right type of loan and that were enrolled in the correct payment plan. 

Figure 1: This is a thumbnail of my latest YouTube video on “More Student Loan Forgiveness from Mr. Biden?! where I have a curious look on my face next to a picture of Joe Biden.”

The problem is that only 6% of people were being approved for PSLF in addition to a world of other issues. Many people were also denied due to paying on the incorrect loan, not being enrolled in the correct payment plan, and working for the wrong type of employer. With Biden’s overhaul individuals who were paying on the wrong loan or enrolled in the wrong payment plan can now have these payments counted towards there 120 payments if they work for an eligible employer. To take advantage of this borrowers will now be able to complete a PSLF form by October 31, 2022. 

Figure 2: This is a photo of a document that reads “Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program next to a pen, calculator, money, and yellow book.”

Now, what’s my thoughts on all this ? I have noticed a trend of student loan forgiveness only being provided to certain groups and not the widespread forgiveness that we were all hoping for. Therefore I’m paying off my student loans! Considering I’m on my last loan I don’t plan on waiting around for anyone to do the work for me. What are your thoughts ? Will you be affected by Biden’s changes to PSLF? Drop down in the comments and let me know! Be sure to check out my latest video below!

Fall 2021 HEERF & CARES Act Funding is Here!! (FREE Money for College Students!!)💵🤑💰

  A few days ago, I was surfing on my universities homepage and I noticed that there was a message at the top regarding summer II HEERF and CARES Act funding. Since I was enrolled in both summer semesters, I decided to send an email to the person listed as the contact to ask if I could receive more CARES Act funding for the fall semester. Since I had been enrolled in the first part of the summer and had already received funding I was not eligible but I was told that another round of CARES Act funding would be given in the fall! In case you did not know HEERF funding is the Higher Education Emergency Relief Act that was enacted for college students due to the pandemic. HEERF provides billions of support in education through CARES Act funding for enrolled students. Figure 1: This is a thumbnail of my YouTube video on “Fall 2021 HEERF & CARES Act Funding is Here” where I am wearing a black shirt with a surprised look on my face. Now while I am not sure on how much you will receive thi
