An estimated 9 million public service employees across the U.S. and 524,000 in New York may be eligible for student loan forgiveness!
Let’s make it happen!
Last year, the U.S. Department of Education (ED) announced a temporary opportunity for expanded loan forgiveness for borrowers who work in public service. The goal was to remedy past administrative and program implementation failures. Millions of borrowers across the U.S. may have their federal loans forgiven or get closer to forgiveness through what is known as the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Temporary Waiver Opportunity.
Action may be required by October 31, 2022, to benefit from this relief. Help us spread the word! If you or anyone you know works for a government or non-profit employer, take advantage of our upcoming webinars and resources below.
