Your entire FFELP PLUS loan or a portion of your obligation may be cancelled (forgiven) for several reasons. Contact your loan holder (lender) to obtain the forms needed to apply for loan forgiveness based on the following conditions.
You may qualify for total or partial loan forgiveness if:
- The school closed within 90 days of your student’s enrollment and they were unable to finish their program of study
- The school did not properly qualify your student’s status before beginning studies
- You did not receive a refund that was due to you
- Your signature was forged
- The school did not properly evaluate your student’s ability to benefit from the coursework before they began their studies
- You become totally and permanently disabled
- If you, or the dependent for whom the loan was borrowed, dies
- Your loan is discharged due to bankruptcy (typically, student loans are cannot be discharged in a bankruptcy). Consult your legal counsel regarding your particular situation.
Your loan cannot be discharged solely because you believe that the school your student attended:
- Provided poor training or had unqualified instructors or inadequate equipment
- Did not provide job placement or other services that it promised
- Engaged in fraudulent activities (other than falsely certifying the loan).
If you believe you are eligible for loan forgiveness, contact the holder of your loan. If ISAC is the holder of your loan, call 800.899.ISAC (4722).
