Are you in or will you be working in a human or public service career? Find out how to get some of your student loans paid for. 

The U.S. Department of Education's Federal Student Aid Office has created a fact sheet for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program (PSLF). The PSLF Program is intended to encourage inividuals to enter and continue to work full-time in public service jobs. To have the remaining balance of your loans forgiven, borrowers must have paid a total of 120 qualifying payments. 

What are public service jobs?

These include any job where you would be working for a public service organization (federal, state, local, or tribal government organization - a non for profit 501(c)(3) - or a private non for profit organization). 

What does working full-time mean?

Working full time means working for at least 30 hours a week.

• What loans qualify for loan forgiveness under this program?
