Student Loan Forgiveness Programs
Student loan forgiveness programs are initiatives designed to reduce or eliminate the debt of borrowers who meet certain criteria. These programs often target specific professions, like teachers or healthcare workers, and require a period of service in designated fields or areas. For example, Public Service Loan Forgiveness forgives remaining debt after 120 qualifying monthly payments while working for a government or non-profit organization. Other options may involve income-driven repayment plans that can lead to forgiveness after a set number of years. The goal is to ease the financial burden on borrowers committed to serving their communities.
