Perks for Recent Graduates
If you are employed by a nonprofit organization such as IDA, you may be able to receive loan forgiveness under the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Program. This program forgives the remaining balance on your Direct Loans after you have made 120 monthly payments (10 years) under a qualifying repayment plan while working full-time for a qualifying employer. Because IDA is a nonprofit organization that is tax-exempt under section 501 (c) (3), you may be eligible for PSLF. Additional information on this program can be found at studentaid.ed.gov.
