One of the happiest days ever! #PSLF

Med school was expensive and I already paid $135k on these. It’s nice to see the remaining $100k balance forgiven 🥹🥹🥹 pic.twitter.com/KQgu8H5UMS

We’re talking hundreds of thousands of dollars potentially in relief for some of our hardest-working community members like local and tribal government workers, school staff, and non-profit employees. 

A lot of people don’t know they’re eligible, as Marissa Evans (@MarissaEvans) points out – non-profit journalists also stand to receive loan forgiveness through the PSLF program. But it’s not too late!

To my non-profit newsroom friends:
I called my student loan servicer and found out I’m eligible for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program because I worked with a non-profit. I had not paid attention to the PSLF and always assumed I was ineligible! https://t.co/0SqsfPNiTC
