What Is Student Loan Forgiveness?

Student loan forgiveness means you are no longer required to repay part or all of your federal student loan debt—if you qualify under a government-approved program. These programs are often based on your income, employment, or repayment history.

Types of Forgiveness Programs You May Qualify For:

1. Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF)

For full-time employees at qualifying nonprofit or government organizations.

  • Key Benefits: Forgiveness after 120 qualifying monthly payments (10 years)
  • Best For: Teachers, nurses, firefighters, government employees, and nonprofit workers
  • Note: Must be enrolled in an income-driven repayment (IDR) plan

2. Income-Driven Repayment (IDR) Forgiveness

Based on your income and family size, not your job.

  • Key Benefits: Affordable monthly payments; forgiveness after 20–25 years
  • Plans Include: REPAYE, PAYE, IBR, and ICR
  • Eligibility: Most federal loan borrowers qualify

3. Teacher Loan Forgiveness

Designed for educators in low-income schools or educational service agencies.

  • Key Benefits: Forgive up to $17,500 in federal loans
Service Requirement: Must teach full-time for five consecutive years
  • Eligible Roles: Math, science, and special education teachers are prioritized

4. Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) Discharge

For borrowers who are unable to work due to a medical disability.

  • Key Benefits: Full forgiveness with supporting medical documentation
  • Eligibility: Confirmed by a physician, the VA, or Social Security Administration

5. Borrower Defense to Repayment

For those who were misled or defrauded by their college or university.

  • Key Benefits: Partial or full loan cancellation
