Okay so you went to college, had an excellent time, went to one or two parties, studied hard (hopefully) and graduated. So it’s half a year later and time to repay those student loans, but wait wouldn't it be great if it was not necessary to pay back your student loans? I know precisely what you are thinking, YES!!!!
The Government has put together a few programs which will permit your student loans to be forgiven. That means for certain folk employed in certain jobs you won't have to reimburse your student loans. So listen I might just make your day and trust me the list is longer than you may think.
These are some of the professions that qualify:
- Fulltime teachers employed in public or nonprofit elementary or secondary colleges in districts eligible for ESEA Title I-A funding, where the share of children from lower income families signed up to the school exceeds 30% of total enrollment
- Full-time Early Lead staff
- Full-time special education teachers in public or non-profitable elementary or secondary faculties (including teachers of infants and toddlers) or qualified professional providers of prompt intervention services under the People with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)
- Members of the Armed Forces for service in an area of hostilities
- Volunteer service under the Peace Corps Act or the Domestic Volunteer Service Act of 1973
- Fulltime law enforcement or corrections officials (including prosecuting attorneys, but not public defenders), for service in local, state or Fed. law enforcement or corrections agencies
So truly I know it’s good to give back to the community but now if you're employed in the above professions you get an extra motivation. You may have anywhere from $5,000 or up to 100% of your student loans forgiven, it really relies upon your profession and how long you have been employed.
40% of Americans do not need to pay back their student loans, Are you one of them?
