In 2007, the federal government created a program that would forgive student loans for people who worked in public service jobs for at least 10 years. (usstudentloancenter.org)
This program is available to Direct Loan borrowers that work in public service jobs for ten years and repay their loans through an eligible repayment plan. (studentloanborrowerassistance.org)
To receive forgiveness, you must show proof that you worked in a qualifying public service job during the period in which you apply. (nerdwallet.com)
