Godwin Scott paid off his student debt within a few years after graduating.(Submitted by Godwin Scott)
Three years ago, Godwin Scott graduated from Carleton University with about $120,000 in student debt.
Today, he s debt free. I ll be honest, it did not hit me that night, said Scott, 26, who made his final student loan payment last October, in the middle of the pandemic. I still feel odd knowing that I don t owe somebody.
Scott is one of several post-secondary students who spoke to CBC Ottawa in 2017 about what they owed and how it was affecting their lives. We followed up to see where they are now, and how they re paying the rest of their debt off.
