Alabama Student Loan Forgiveness Programs
Alabama has offered a special student loan forgiveness program since 2018.
However, residents of the State of Alabama can potentially qualify for various Federal student loan forgiveness programs, such as Public Student Loan Forgiveness and Teacher Loan Forgiveness.
You can find a great list of Federal student loan forgiveness programs here: Top Student Loan Forgiveness Programs.
If you have private student loans, it might make more sense to refinance your loans and see if you can get a lower interest rate and payment. We recommend Credible for student loan refinancing because you can find out in 2 minutes or less if it's worth it. Try out Credible here.
