The high cost of education and the burden of educational debt prevent many from pursuing and remaining in public interest careers. Our Educational Debt Relief program is devoted to advocating for educational debt relief and spreading the word to make sure those who need relief are taking the right steps to qualify.
We offer user-friendly information and resources on educational debt relief programs to help you understand and manage educational debt including free webinars. Whether you are a prospective or current student or have already graduated, we provide detailed information on programs and how they work, including:
- Public Service Loan Forgiveness
Find out how working in public service can help you earn forgiveness in 10 years.
- Income-Based Repayment
See how to substantially reduce monthly student loan payments if you have high debt relative to your income.
- Loan Repayment Assistance Programs
Learn how to use these programs often offered by schools, employers, states and the federal government to help manage educational debt.
We also have information tailored to help school administrators, career advisors and employers advise students and employees on how to benefit from these and other educational debt relief programs.
