The University Office of Scholarships and Student Financial Aid at Kent State University is hosting a free webinar on how student loan debt holders working in public service can take advantage of the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PLSF) Program. Hear from Sylvia Bustard, director of Student Financial Aid and Brenda Dillon, assistant director of Student Financial Aid to learn about the process, eligibility requirements, the steps to apply and how to use the PLSF tool.  They will be sharing their expertise to help you understand more about this important benefit. 

If you meet the following criteria for Public Service Loan Forgiveness, this webinar might be for you: 
• Work full-time for a government agency or for certain types of nonprofit organizations
• Have Direct Loans (or have consolidated other federal student loans to qualify)
• Repay your loans on an income-driven repayment plan (note: under a limited waiver periods of repayment under any payment plan count)
• Make 120 qualifying payments on your federal loans

If you have more questions at the end of the webinar, Sylvia and Brenda will be available for a Q&A session. 

The deadline to apply for the PLSF program is Oct. 31, 2022.
