SAVE Repayment Plan

Some good news is that the Department of Education is launching a new, helpful repayment plan that could assist you named Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) Plan. Please visit: https://studentaid.gov/announcements-events/save-plan for details on this new repayment plan. We highly recommend you contact your loan servicer if you are interested in the SAVE repayment plan.

You can sign up for the SAVE Plan by visiting: https://studentaid.gov/idr/ You will need your FSA ID Username and password to log in to studentaid.gov and complete your application.   

WARNING: If you receive any phone calls, emails, or letters offering you any type of loan forgiveness, please DO NOT provide any of your personal information.  The Department of Education and your federal loan servicer will never ask you for any personal information related to any debt relief.  You can apply for legitimate loan forgiveness programs at NO COST. You never have to pay for help with your federal student loans. Students are highly encouraged to not engage with any scam calls or messages. If you think that you have received a scam call, you can register for the National Do Not Call Registry. However, if messages persist, you can report the calls to the FTC and give context about the messages you’re receiving. And if you do have questions about your student loan payments and forgiveness, you should contact your federal loan servicer directly.
