Loan Forgiveness Programs

Public Sector Employees

Public sector employees may be eligible for loan forgiveness for student loans. As an employee of the City of Worcester, you are a public sector employee. A qualifying loan for Public Sector Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) is any non-defaulted loan you received under the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) Program.
