​BrightsideNew school year, new loan rules — Brightside can help with both

Back-to-school season and expenses go hand in hand — from supplies to electronics to classroom fees. And now that student loan changes are in effect, new plans, payments, and deadlines could impact you too.

Your Brightside Financial Assistant can help you find your best options for all of these, by phone or chat. It’s part of Brightside Financial Care, your free Providence benefit.

How Brightside can help this back-to-school season:

  • Find free school supplies — your Financial Assistant can connect you with resources in your area

  • Apply for programs to offset the cost of school — meals, childcare, fees, and tech tools

  • Get a $100 Cash Advance if you're short on cash before payday — no fees, no balance requirements

  • Understand recent student loan changes - including whether you or family members were (or will be) impacted, and your options

  • Explore ways to pay education — for you or a family member, including automatic saving from each paycheck with a competitive interest rate

  • Lock in a lower student loan interest rate —by enrolling in autopay before September 30, 2026.

To get started, call 855-979-7768. Financial Assistants are available by phone or chat Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. - 9 p.m. ET.
