Do you have student debt? A new employee benefit can help you work through federal repayment plans and loan forgiveness programs. 

The new benefit, called the Savi student debt solution, is offered by TIAA*, one of the University of Arizona's investment and financial planning providers.

How to use Savi

Visit the TIAA student debt relief website and follow the prompts. You will need:

  • Estimated or known monthly payments
  • Adjusted Gross Income from most recently filed federal taxes

Once you create your account, you may choose one of Savi's two tiers of service:

  • DIY (Free): Quickly see your unique repayment plan options and potential savings upon entering your personal information. Complete, print and send your own paperwork.
  • Essential ($60/year): Track payments toward forgiveness and get convenient e-filing, one-on-one assistance, reminders and more.

Savi will hold two informational webinars in August exclusively for University employees:

*All employees can use Savi regardless of whether they use TIAA or Fidelity.
