Get help with Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF).

Many are not aware that they may qualify to receive loan forgiveness immediately through the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program. The PSLF program forgives the remaining balance on your Direct Loans after you have made 120 monthly payments under a qualifying repayment plan while working full-time for a qualifying employer. (OhioHealth qualifies as an eligible employer for the PSLF Program.) Fiducius can help guide you through the complex process of determining eligibility and filing an application if you qualify for the PSLF program.
