How do I apply for student loan forgiveness?
In Wisconsin, there are several options for student loan forgiveness if you meet certain requirements. The first step is to fill out an application for loan forgiveness through the Wisconsin Higher Education Aided Board (HEEAB) or the U.S. Department of Education (ED). You must provide proof of your enrollment in an eligible college or university in Wisconsin. Additionally, you must provide proof of completed loan obligations. Once your application is submitted, the ED or HEEAB will review it and determine if your loan is eligible for forgiveness. If so, the forgiveness process can begin. The loan forgiveness process typically involves submitting an application with supporting documentation, such as proof of service or other financial hardship. The ED or HEEAB will review the application and determine if you are eligible for loan forgiveness. Depending on the type of forgiveness program you apply for, additional requirements may apply such as maintaining a minimum grade point average or completing a certain amount of hours of community service or volunteering. Once your application is approved, the loan forgiveness will begin. Depending on the program, you may need to continue to comply with the requirements of the loan forgiveness program in order to maintain the service requirements and keep the loan forgiveness in place. It is important to remember that loan forgiveness is not guaranteed. Be sure to understand the requirements of any loan forgiveness program prior to applying. If you have any questions, contact the ED or HEEAB to discuss your situation in more detail.
