Restoring Public Service Loan Forgiveness

In an executive order dated March 7, 2025, President Donald Trump announced changes to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Program, aiming to exclude organizations engaged in illegal activities from qualifying for loan forgiveness. The revised policy targets organizations that support illegal immigration, terrorism, child abuse, and other unlawful activities, asserting that such groups should not benefit from federal loan forgiveness. This move may spark legal and political debate, as it could affect numerous organizations and individuals relying on PSLF, potentially altering the landscape of public service employment and higher education financing.
