Does anyone know How to get private student loans repaid by the military?
I joined the Navy with a sign-on benefit of $65,000 in student loan repayment. I was told at the time I joined that Sallie Mae loans would be covered, but now they are telling me that these loans are not covered because they are private. I have about $35,000 in federal loans that are going to be repaid, but I still have a very large amount of private loans. I was initially told that I could simply refinance private loans as federal loans and they would be repaid by the Navy, but now I know that it is impossible to turn private loans into federal loans. Does anyone know of a way to get private loans (up to $65,000 minus the amount of federal loans already covered) repaid by the Navy/military?
