Student Loan Forgiveness Scholarship? Yep, It’s a Thing!

Did you know that the number of people enrolled in an income-based student loan repayment plan has tripled over the last five years? With the average amount of student loan debt and monthly payments increasing, it’s one of the easiest ways to manage your student loan debt and avoid default. What’s another way you can reduce your student debt? Check out the Student Loan Forgiveness Scholarship from MoneySolver. Yes, it really does exist – and it can help shave $2,500 off your student loan bill.

Is Student Loan Forgiveness Real?

Let’s be candid for a moment. Does student loan forgiveness exist? Yes, it does. Is there any real chance that you’ll receive forgiveness? Probably not.

In fact, more than 99 percent of those who applied for loan forgiveness did not receive it. Most were denied because they didn’t meet the eligibility requirements, or they failed to provide the required documentation. The process is long, complicated, and frustrating. Thankfully, this isn’t the case when it comes to applying for the $2,500 Student Loan Forgiveness Scholarship.

How to Apply for the Student Loan Forgiveness Scholarship

Unlike the government’s student loan forgiveness programs, MoneySolver’s $2,500 Student Loan Forgiveness Scholarship application is fun and easy. Access the online portal, provide your contact information and student loan debt amount. Then, submit a written response (250 words or less) to the following question: “How have student loan payments impacted your life?” That’s it!

The deadline to apply is December 31, 2019. If you want to get a leg up on the competition, be sure to check out the Student Loan Relief Scholarship winner and our scholarship essay writing tips.

Who Is Eligible?

Current and former college students (yes, even those who did not receive a degree) may apply for the Student Loan Forgiveness Scholarship. As far as other eligibility requirements go, you must:

  • Be 18 or older at the time of application
  • Be a legal U.S. resident
  • Have student loan debt

High school students or those with no student loan debt will not be considered for the award.
