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.
