ELFI study shows college meal plans to be a significant portion of college costs
Popular cost-cutting advice to skip meal plans may not be feasible for most students KNOXVILLE, Tenn., July 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A recent study by student loan lender ELFI surveyed current meal plan pricing at 150 colleges and universities nationwide, concluding that 98% of surveyed institutions require freshmen to purchase meal plans. This makes a common cost-cutting strategy – skipping meal plans in favor of home-cooked meals – impractical for many students. Meal plans can present a significant expense among college-related costs. ELFI found that current plans average $5,600 per academic year, totaling anywhere from $12,000 to $44,000 over four years. Private school meal plans cost 22% more than public school plans on average. The study also found that college meal plans are considerably more expensive than the standard cost of meals, based on the average range of nutritious, home-prepared food plans measured by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for adults ages 19 to 50. On average, student meal plans were 39-49% more expensive than USDA food plans, depending on the sex of the student. Considering this cost amid recent inflation trends, many financial experts recommend that students prepare their own meals to save money. However, meal plans are typically required for students living on campus, especially for freshmen. As a result, students and families may be budgeting based on outdated or impractical advice and could be blindsided by the true cost of attendance. "Borrowers come to us with concerns about how to maximize long-term savings while financing their college education," said Ivan Marcinko, ELFI senior vice president and director of operations. "We hope that this study will help families understand that some college costs cannot be mitigated and encourage them to explore financing pathways that accommodate the high cost of college, including meal plans." College costs are top of mind for many student loan borrowers considering the recently signed "One Bill Big Beautiful Bill" Act, which included various reforms aimed at financial aid and student loan repayment. As grant limits, loan caps and other higher education lending reforms go into effect, students and families may need to make critical decisions about meeting the cost of college with a combination of federal aid, institutional assistance and private lending. For some students, institutional meal plan assistance programs, waivers or exceptions may be available. ELFI recommends that students contact their college or university to learn more about their options. ELFI is a division of Tennessee-based SouthEast Bank and offers nationwide student loans.

Vietnam Block B gas project advances with FSO contract
PTSC South East Asia (PTSC SEA), a joint venture (JV) between PetroVietnam Technical Services Corporation (PTSC) and Yinson Production, has signed a lease and operate contract for a new floating storage and offloading (FSO) unit, set to bolster the Vietnam Block B gas project offshore. The contract, awarded by the Phu Quoc Petroleum Operating Company (PQPOC), is seen as a critical step for Vietnam's energy sector, enhancing the country's infrastructure. PQPOC, established by Vietnam National Industry – Energy Group (Petrovietnam), is responsible for the operation of the Vietnam Block B gas project, which includes Blocks B&48/95 and 52/97 in the south-west offshore region of Vietnam. The project, with an annual supply of 5.07 billion standard cubic metres of gas, aims to meet the growing energy needs of the south-west part of the country and provide economic benefits to the government, Petrovietnam and investors. Integral to the project's infrastructure, the new FSO will have a storage capacity of up to 350,000 barrels of condensate and is designed to be stationed for 25 years without the need for dry-docking. The turret-moored, double-hull FSO will be installed at a water depth of 80m. The firm period of the contract spans 14 years, with a potential extension of nine more years, bringing the total value to approximately $600m (VND15.72trn). The Vietnam Block B gas project's FSO is expected to achieve first condensate by the third quarter of 2027. Yinson CEO Flemming Guiducci Grønnegaard said: 'This contract reflects our strong partnership with PTSC and our long-standing commitment to Vietnam's offshore energy sector. 'The Block B FSO builds on our successful track record in the region and highlights our ability to deliver high-quality offshore assets that meet the specific needs of our clients. We are proud to support Vietnam's efforts to enhance energy security and are confident that this project will deliver long-term value for all stakeholders.' This new deal follows a previous award in November last year to PTSC AP, another JV between Yinson Production and PTSC, for the provision, charter, operation and maintenance of an FSO for Murphy Oil's Lac Da Vang project. Earlier this year, Yinson Production Offshore Holdings, a newly formed UK-based holding company of Yinson Production, signed a definitive agreement with a group of international investment firms. This agreement involves the issuance of $1bn ($749.89bn) in redeemable convertible preferred shares, along with 10% warrants, based on a post-money valuation of $3.7bn.

Spirit Airlines furloughing 270 pilots, demoting another 140 amid slower schedule
Spirit Airlines is furloughing around 270 pilots and demoting another 140 later this year as the budget carrier looks to slim down the workforce and adjust to a slower schedule. 'We are taking necessary steps to ensure we operate as efficiently as possible as part of our efforts to return to profitability. Among these steps, we have made the difficult decision to furlough approximately 270 Pilots, effective Nov. 1, 2025, to better align staffing with our flight schedule,' the airline said in an emailed statement to The Hill on Tuesday. The demotion of approximately 140 captains will take place on Oct. 1. They will downgraded to first officer, according to the Air Line Pilots Association, the largest pilot union in the world, CNBC reported. 'We recognize the weight of this decision and are committed to treating all affected Team Members with compassion and respect during this process,' the airline added. The Florida-based carrier had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in November, after failed attempts at merging with other airlines and financial losses. Spirit emerged from bankruptcy in March. Ahead of filing for bankruptcy, Spirit furloughed around 200 pilots in September. 'We know how hard this news hits, and there's no dressing that up. Spirit continues to shrink, and with it, the value of pilot seniority and Spirit careers continues to erode,' Ryan Muller, a captain and the chairman of Spirit's Air Line Pilots Association, said, according to CNBC.
