student loans

The Education Department originally thought the student loan program would make money — instead, it's losing it. That's according to a new report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office.

A federal judge granted preliminary approval of a settlement that would cancel the loans of more than 200,000 student borrowers who say they were defrauded by their colleges.

Oklahoma City Community College announced it has wiped out the debts of approximately 4,500 students under its Fresh Start Initiative.

Under the campaign, the school has also offered need-blind admissions to international students and increased the household income limit for full scholarships to $125,000.

A new NPR/Ipsos poll finds majority support for forgiving $10,000 in federal student loan debt, but even broader support for making college affordable for future students.

The measure would free some borrowers from debt incurred by spouses – sometimes abusive ones – and could lay a path toward loan forgiveness.

A short-lived program in the early 2000s allowed married couples to consolidate their student loans for a lower interest rate. Now, they're missing out on thousands in loan forgiveness.

Students affected do not have to take any further action to secure their funds, and the Department of Education will begin notifying those students soon, the agency said.

As the political calendar inches towards the midterm elections in November, a run of recent polling all points to one thing: President Biden has a problem with young voters.

The U.S. Department of Education unveils a plan to help millions of borrowers who have been hurt and held back by its troubled income-driven repayment plans.
