Did you know that if you’re employed by a government or not-for-profit organization, you might be eligible for the PSLF Program? The PSLF Program forgives the remaining balance on your Direct Loans after you’ve made the equivalent of 120 qualifying monthly payments under an accepted repayment plan, and while working full-time for an eligible employer.

It's called the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, a government program that encourages people to give back to their communities by forgiving their student loans!
