Federal Government Assistance
After college, the federal government has ways to help you repay your loans.
- Eligibility depends upon the type of loan, when it was made, and whether it's in default. Check with your loan officer to find out if you qualify.
- Loan Consolidation: combine your federal loans into a single loan with one monthly payment.
- Sometimes loans may be canceled in exchange for public service.
Teachers: Cancellation/Deferment Options
Health professions: National Health Service Corps
Law school graduates: State Loan Repayment/Forgiveness Programs
Medical school graduates: Loan Repayment Program
Federal employees: Federal Student Loan Repayment Program - If you are having problems with your loan and all other approaches fail, contact the Department of Education's Office of the Ombudsman.
