Tariffs, trade wars, and market turbulence are enough to make anyone nervous. At the same time, many of the Triangle’s grant-supported researchers and federal workers are also facing job insecurity. It’s enough to make anyone desperate for some sage financial advice. The Washington Post personal finance columnist Michelle Singletary joins Due South’s Leoneda Inge to share some hard truths and provide some hope for a path forward.

Nearly 80 percent of HBCU students borrow federal loans. For many, a college education would not be possible without the accrual of this debt, and the repayment process can lead to long-term financial challenges for graduates. Financial aid officers are tasked with preparing students for the impact of loan borrowing on their future. For this edition of "HBCU 101," Due South co-host Leoneda Inge talks to the director of scholarships and student aid at North Carolina Central University about how the institution works to ensure that its students are not overwhelmed with financial strain after earning their degrees.
