If you borrowed money for undergraduate, graduate, or medical school through the federal Direct Loan program and are considering a career in public service, you may be eligible for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program. Successful completion of this program can lead to forgiveness of federal student loan debt for the remaining balance (principal and interest) after making 120 qualifying monthly payments.

Qualifying public service employment includes work in 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations, government organizations, and/or other not-for-profit organizations that provide certain types of qualifying public service. This type of employment could include work at qualifying medical schools and teaching hospitals, employment with AmeriCorps or Peace Corps, military service, public health, public safety, and other similar types of employment.
