Public Service + 10 Years of Payments May = Student Loan Relief

Learn How to Qualify to Have Your Federal Loans Balance Forgiven

Interested in shedding some federal student loan debt? If you plan things just right, there’s a strategy that may work for you. It’s called the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program. Here are the requirements:

You must work full-time for a public service employer—a government agency or a non-profit organization. (Not all non-profits qualify.)

You must have a qualifying loan and a qualifying repayment plan. (You can restructure both so they meet the requirements.)

You must make 120 qualifying payments, all while meeting the points above.

Learn more in this Department of Education blog post. You’ll find a step-by-step explanation of how to qualify for each requirement.

He’s a national merit scholar and president of his high school class, along with being a state-recognized alto saxophone player.

No lie, that happened to me.

As soon as I crossed the stage and received my degree, my phone was ringing in my pocket.

So I looked at how much I have left to pay off on my student loan the other day. Really wish I hadn’t. From now on, ignorance is bliss. Just gotta keep making those monthly offerings until one day I don’t!

Why did you start blogging?

I started blogging late in 2014 when I started traveling across the country. I used tumblr as a way to tell the stories I was experiencing…

"College was very different just a few years ago, back when the Internet was not yet a standard fixture on campuses. For students at the time, the daily routine —from the classroom to the dorm room — required mastering a variety of practices and customs that might seem bizarre to modern eyes.
