Puerto Rico Student Loan Forgiveness Programs

Puerto Rico isn't its own state, but the US territory does have some student loan forgiveness programs as well.

Residents of Puerto Rico can also potentially qualify for various Federal student loan forgiveness programs. 

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. You can get up to a $1,000 bonus if you refinance with Credible. Or just check out our full list of the best student loan refinance lenders here.

If you're not quite sure where to start or what to do, consider hiring a CFA to help you with your student loans. We recommend The Student Loan Planner to help you put together a solid financial plan for your student loan debt. Check out The Student Loan Planner here.
