What other loan forgiveness programs are available for Public Interest employment?
The College Cost Reduction and Access Act (H.R. 2669 and Public Law 110-84) passed in September 2007 created a new Federal Public Service Loan Forgiveness program. Borrowers repaying federal Direct Loans who work in public service professions (such as jobs in schools, charities, and government) for 10 years can cancel any federal student loan balances that remain after that period.
