Student Loan Forgiveness Programs by State

Forty-seven states and the District of Columbia all have special student loan forgiveness programs for residents of their states.

These plans are different than the federal programs you've probably heard of - like Public Service Loan Forigiveness.

Many of the programs are in public service fields, such as health care, teaching, dentistry, legal, and more. They all require some type of commitment and are run through various state programs and offices.

If you aren’t employed in a public service field and are looking for ways to save on your student loans, check out Credible to compare rates from different lenders in 2 minutes. Plus, College Investor readers get up to a $750 gift card bonus when they refinance with Credible!

If you're not quite sure where to start or what to do, consider using a tool like LoanBuddy to navigate your student loan debt. LoanBuddy will analyze your loans, and show you the best repayment plan and loan forgiveness options you may be eligible for. Check out LoanBuddy here >>

Remember, there are still Federal Student Loan Forgiveness programs and Secret Student Loan Forgiveness programs as part of many repayment plans. Learn more about those here:

Federal Student Loan Forgiveness Programs - There are a lot of different Federal Student Loan Forgiveness Programs that you may qualify for.
