Our Executive Director Helps Spread the Word on
Nonprofit Student Loan Forgiveness
If you work in nonprofits or government, you may be eligible to have ALL your student loans wiped out. LinkedIn turned to our executive director, Roderick L. Jones, to help promote that message. Jones benefited from the Public Service Loan Fund Waiver himself, and he'd like to see others in the sector get out from under their debts too. Read the interview and go to PSLF.US to see if you qualify for relief!
