Federal student loan debt relief
Under the Biden Loan Forgiveness program, borrowers of federal student loans could apply to have up to $10,000 in debt discharged. Those who received Pell Grants could qualify to have up to $20,000 discharged. However, this program is currently on hold due to court orders. Be sure to avoid debt-relief scams.
