The International Center's Meaghan Murphy-Rennie presents two sessions for NAFSA: National Association of International Educators

The two sessions were given as part of the NAFSA Region XI (New England) conference expansion pack.  

Session 1, Sept. 20: Public Service Loan Forgiveness: The Basics

The Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program is a valuable tool to gain loan forgiveness but the challenges associated with it can be numerous. Misinformation and misapplication of the program abound but that doesn't mean it won't succeed for you. We’ll go over the basics of PSLF, resources that can provide help, and the current activism surrounding the future of the program. Attend this session to learn how to advocate for yourself in this much maligned U.S. Government program and get those student loans forgiven!
