Utah Student Loan Forgiveness Programs
Utah does offer two student loan repayment assistance programs, specifically for medical providers.
Furthermore, residents of the State of Utah can 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 $750 gift card bonus if you refinance with Credible.
If you're not quite sure where to start or what to do, consider using a tool like LoanBuddy to analyze your student loans and provide guidance on the best repayment and loan forgiveness options. Check out LoanBuddy here >>
