Student Loans are on hold, but new scam claims otherwise.
Premier Dwight Ball announced in early April that no payment be required and interest will not accrue until September 30, 2020.
The province suspended the repayment of provincial student loans, but there is a scam circulating and making people think otherwise.
Minister of Advanced Education, Skills and Labour, Christopher Mitchelmore warns people with student loans that there is scam making its rounds asking people to repay anyway.
He says Canada Student Loan Service Centre and National Student loan Centre are not contacting students, this is a scam.
Mitchelmore tells people to hang up on these people and if anyone has an inquiry they should email studentaideinquiry@gov.nl.ca.
