There are a variety of loan forgiveness programs available to eligible borrowers. To qualify for loan forgiveness, you typically need to be employed in a public service or non-profit job, make on-time payments for a certain period of time, and meet other requirements. For example, the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program forgives federal student loans for borrowers who work full-time in an eligible public service job and make 120 qualifying monthly payments. Qualifying payments must be made after October 1, 2007, under a qualifying repayment plan.
