Understanding the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program
April 5, 2022 -- 7:00 PM
As a celebration of Financial Literacy Month, the Maryland Council on Economic Education is pleased to bring the education community critical information about student loan forgiveness opportunities for public school education professionals.
Join Dr. Tisa Silver Canady, founder and director of the Maryland Center for Collegiate Financial Wellness, for an overview of PSLF, details of the temporary expansion, and next steps federal student loan borrowers who work in public service should take to make certain they do not miss out on this limited-time opportunity.
If you have federal student loans and work in the public or non-profit sectors, recent updates to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Program may help you get your loans forgiven more quickly. Through the PSLF Limited Waiver, the Department of Education has temporarily expanded eligibility to thousands of federal student loan borrowers who were previously denied access to loan forgiveness through the PSLF Program.
