How do I apply for student loan forgiveness?

To apply for student loan forgiveness, you need to determine your eligibility first. Are you a teacher, public service worker, or in another qualifying profession?

I'm a public service worker. What are the steps I need to take?

Great! As a public service worker, you can apply for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program. First, ensure you have Direct Loans and then complete the PSLF application form.

What if I have other types of loans?

If you have other types of loans, you may need to consolidate them into a Direct Consolidation Loan to qualify for PSLF. Would you like more information on that process?

Yes, please explain how to consolidate my loans.

To consolidate your loans, visit the Federal Student Aid website and fill out the Direct Consolidation Loan application. It’s important to understand the terms and how it affects your repayment.
