Register for a Student Debt Clinic
Student debt clinics are 90-minute programs that:
- Situate the experience of borrowers in the midst of a national student debt crisis;
- Empower them to manage their student debt by giving them information on free federal programs that may lower their monthly payments and lead to their loans being forgiven; and
- Engage them in union activism to address the student debt crisis and other important issues in their workplace and community.
The AFT settled a landmark court case in October 2021 that set in motion significant, but temporary, changes to the eligibility requirements for Public Service Loan Forgiveness. Since that time, we have heard from hundreds of members who have had their entire loan balances wiped away thanks to our union’s efforts.
If you have student debt and, like most AFT members, work for a public employer or nonprofit organization—regardless of whether you work in education, healthcare or another profession—you could have your entire debt balance forgiven.
