About the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Program and Student Loan Counseling
What is the PSLF?
The PSLF program allows you to have the remaining balance of your student loans forgiven after you have made 120 qualifying monthly payments while working full time for a U.S. federal, state, local, or tribal government or not-for-profit organization. Find out more on this government website.
Am I eligible for the PSLF? What other options do I have?
Qualifying for the PSLF depends on what kind of loans you have. The temporary waiver allows more people to qualify for loan forgiveness.
You can schedule an individual consultation with LSS to discuss your situation.
