What is loan forgiveness for student loans?

Loan forgiveness for student loans is a program that allows eligible borrowers to have some or all of their federal student loan debt forgiven, canceled, or discharged. This means that the borrower is no longer responsible for repaying the remaining balance of the loan. There are several different types of loan forgiveness programs available, such as Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF), Teacher Loan Forgiveness, and IncomeDriven Repayment Plan Forgiveness. The eligibility criteria and amount of forgiveness vary depending on the specific program.
