Information on student loan forgiveness for law officers

Question: How do I apply for student loan forgiveness for a law enforcement officer?

Answer: To my understanding, law enforcement officers working for qualifying agencies are eligible for cancellation of student loans extended under the Federal Perkins Loan program. Depending on your length of service, you may be eligible for cancellation of up to 100% of your Perkins Loan debts. Since Perkins loans are administered by individual colleges anduniversities, you should contact the school you were attending when you incurred the debt to discuss your eligibility for cancellation as a law enforcement officer and how to apply for the cancellation program. The Department of Education offers a guide to its loan cancellation programs .

If you find that your student loans

do not qualify for cancellation, you may want to consider a loan consolidation program to lower you monthly loan payments. To learn more about student loans, I encourage you to visit the Bills.com Student Loan Information page at http://www.bills.com/student-loans/. If you enter your contact information at https://www.bills.com/studentloan/loan/

I wish you the best of luck in resolving your student loans. I hope that the information I have provided helps you Find. Learn. Save.

Best,
