Student Debt Expert Webinars

Because of the educators and allies who took action, the White House has announced a new student-debt cancellation plan, which could forgive up to $20,000 in federal student debt for borrowers. [Note: Recent court actions have paused the cancellation plan.] This victory comes on top of the temporary Public Service Loan Forgiveness waiver, which has delivered $10 billion in loan forgiveness for public-service workers over the past nine months.

Join us for two webinars to learn about the opportunities for student debt cancelation that could work for you.

Last Chance, The PSLF Waiver is Ending!

October 18: 7 p.m. - 8 p.m. ET: Since 2021, the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Waiver has provided $10 billion in student loan forgiveness for over 175,000 educators and public service workers, but it is ending on October 31. After October, the program will return to its regular program requirements. This means, if you had any past periods of ineligibility, those will no longer count for PSLF.
