Haunted by Student Debt? Wipe it out by Halloween - with Aoife Delargy Lowe, PSLF Coalition

Fund the People: A Podcast with Rusty Stahl

Is student debt haunting your nonprofit career?
Is the specter of student loans looming over people in your organization, or your colleagues elsewhere?
Are you an HR person helping nonprofit workers navigate the harrowing nature of debt?

Luckily, you don’t need an exorcist to get rid of that debt! It can be wiped away through the federal government's Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Progam. Now through Halloween (October 31, 2022), they’re making the process (and likelihood of forgiveness) much easier by waiving unhelpful rules and bureaucracy that have dogged the program for years.

In this time-sensitive bonus episode, you’ll learn exactly what you or your colleagues need to do before the end of this month to wipe out your student debt. Rusty sits down with Aoife Delargy Lowe, an expert on the topic who provides staff leadership for the PSLF Coalition, an alliance of nonprofits that has been advocating for improvements to the program since 2017.

In addition to three specific steps you can take and specific websites you can use, you’ll also learn about the history of the coalition and what the future may hold for the PSLF program beyond this month.
