Forgiveness and Cancellation
There are three main programs offered by the government to help with student loans: loan consolidation, loan forgiveness, and income-driven repayment plans. To qualify for loan forgiveness, you must be employed by a government or non-profit organization, make 120 qualifying monthly payments, and have the remaining balance on your Direct Loans forgiven. You may consolidate your federal student loans into a Direct Consolidation Loan, which will have a fixed interest rate for the life of the loan. Your monthly payments will be based on the amount you owe, your interest rate, and the length of your repayment term. You may choose an income-driven repayment plan, which will base your monthly payment amount on your income and family size. You must reapply for an income-driven repayment plan every year.
