According to Shelly Eweka, senior director at TIAA,  "We are effective in assisting our customers in achieving their retirement objectives

but we also realize that it has become such a hardship for them to repay their college loans." We sought a solution

that would enable us to truly assist our clients in managing and repaying their student debt and qualifying for loan forgiveness.

“The algorithm is taking into account not just the amount of debt, but your individual circumstances,” Eweka says.
