Resources for Borrowers
Paying off student loans can be overwhelming, and many people think they must pay them off completely. However, depending on your income, career, and financial goals, it may best to either pay the loans off quickly or pursue a forgiveness program. These resources will help you develop a strategy, choose the right plan, and address many challenges you might be facing.

We recommend starting with our self-guided Determine Your Student Loan Repayment Strategy Tool to support your initial decision-making.
