Join the National Council of Nonprofits and Public Service Promise for a FREE expert-led webinar on how to access student loan relief from the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program (PSLF) and actions you can take to protect this critical program from unlawful attempts by the Trump Administration to undermine it.
The PSLF program is administered by the U.S. Department of Education and is designed to forgive the student loan balances of those employed by a government and all 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations. The Department’s current proposed rule would unlawfully restrict which nonprofits are eligible employers under the program based on mission area and who they serve.
Betsy Mayotte, an expert on student loans and President of The Institute of Student Loan Advisors, will walk through the requirements of qualifying for the program and will answer general questions about how to navigate the application process. As a member of the Negotiated Rulemaking Committee, she will also share updates on the Administration’s proposed harmful changes to the program and where the Department of Education is in the process.
Tiffany Gourley Carter, Public Policy Director and Counsel at the National Council of Nonprofits, will share action items and next steps for nonprofits and employees to help protect the program from the Administration’s unlawful proposal.
