Student Loan Forgiveness

As a scientist from a low-income background, I’ve got tons of student loan debt. It’s not easy, but did you know that you qualify for the public service loan forgiveness (PSLF) program if you stayed in academia? All those years paying your student loan while you were a postdoc or faculty count toward the ten years. But if for some reason they didn’t count (mine didn’t because I had the wrong type of federal student loan), you have until November of 2022 to fill out a special form to MAKE them count. Cory Turner from NPR has a great rundown of this (tweet). I’ll be posting more about this soon!
