College Colors Day is
Friday, August 28
At Saint Leo University, this
year College Colors Day is

SALT is a free program offered by Saint Leo University to all students, prospective students, alumni, and parents. It is designed to empower college students and alumni to
confidentially approach, manage, and pay back their student loans while gaining financial skills for life. In fact, it is full of such great information that over 250 schools currently participate in this program (Saint Leo being proudly one of them), providing services
to more than 635,000 active members.
Some of the benefits of using SALT™ include:
- Finding scholarships to help pay for your college education, potentially saving you
hundreds if not thousands of dollars over the life of your college career
- Comparing borrowing options for various student loans so you know which ones are
best for you and your circumstance
- Obtaining one-on-one loan advice from experienced and knowledgeable counselors
- Creating a personalized repayment plan for your student loans so that you don’t default on any of your loans and potentially harm your credit
- Keeping track of all of your student loans in one convenient location so that you know
at all times where you stand financially with these obligations
- Locating internship and job resources to help you successfully complete your degree
outside the classroom and start working in your field of choice.
There is also an interactive component to SALT™ in which you can ask questions
about various money-related topics and get a response. You can even participate in a
live chat if you want to know the answers quickly.

*Currently, students can apply for term start date to 60 days before term start date; that is
changing. With the recent changes from Air Staff, students will only be able to apply for
TA within 7 - 45 days of term start date.
*If you don't have a TA in the system 7 days prior to term start date, you will not be able
to apply for TA. Education centers WILL NOT be allowed to create a TA for a student in
this case.
