Do you qualify for student loan forgiveness?
When you have a lot of student loans, student loan forgiveness programs can be a very attractive option for getting out of debt.
Student loan forgiveness is available to borrowers who choose to enter certain fields as they start their career. Forgiveness programs are designed to encourage bright young minds in America to give back by entering fields such as teaching, public service, healthcare and the military. There are both federal and state student loan forgiveness programs, each with different criteria for qualification.
