Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Powered by Tuition.io
Whether you have student loans now or might have them in the future, we
know that many caregivers are impacted by the financial strains that come
with earning higher education. Service within the Providence family of
organizations may qualify you for Public Service Loan Forgiveness.
PSLF is a federal program for Direct Student Loans. It forgives the remaining
loan balance of borrowers who make 120 qualifying monthly payments under
a qualifying payment plan while working full-time for a qualifying employer
such as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization.
Eligibility Requirements:
To qualify for PSLF, individuals must:
Be employed by a U.S. federal, state, local, or tribal government or qualifying
not-for-profit organization (federal service includes U.S. military service)
Employment within the Providence family of organizations qualifies
Work full-time for that agency or organization (full-time employment is
working for a qualifying employer(s) for a weekly average, alone or when
combined,
equal to at least 30 hours)
Have Direct Loans (or consolidate other federal student loans into a Direct Loan)
Repay your loans under an income-driven repayment plan (this includes the new
Saving on a Valuable Education SAVE Plan which replaces the existing Revised Pay As You Earn Repayment Plan REPAYE
which can help borrowers get lower payments) or under a 10-year Standard
Repayment Plan
Make a total of 120 qualifying monthly payments that need not be consecutive
