Have you heard of the Temporary Expanded Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program? What started as research for Fastweb Scholarships members became a true-life student loan forgiveness story for our editor, Shawna Newman. In October 2021, Newman was researching PSLF programs for an article she was writing and discovered that she qualified for forgiveness under the new TEPSLF program. Six months -- and lots of paperwork and emails -- later, Newman got the news that would change her life: over $70,000 in student loans had been FORGIVEN. Read on to see how she did it and how this program could mean student loan forgiveness for you too: http://ow.ly/zS9p50JTmtE #studentloans #studentloandebt #studentloanforgiveness

About us
For 25 years, Fastweb, a Monster Company, has been the leading online resource in helping students find scholarships to pay for school. Additionally, we provide expert advice on financial aid best practices, student loan research and options, college admissions tips and tricks, and the ever-changing landscape of student life on high school and college campuses. The best part? Becoming a Fastweb member is completely free. Since our inception, we have worked to take the “search” out of the scholarship search for students, allowing us to find opportunities that match the qualifications and interests of each student that we serve. With a database of 1.5 million scholarships worth over $3.4 billion, our members have access to the most robust collection of prospects. We believe in making the scholarship search as easy as possible for students. Once students create a profile, they will receive a list of opportunities to which they actually qualify. Within minutes, they have a starting point for their college scholarship search and application process. Our dedicated team of researchers works to ensure that every opportunity on Fastweb is authentic and legitimate. We pride ourselves on being a trusted resource for students, parents and educators alike. It's part of what makes Fastweb so unique in the online scholarship search industry. At Fastweb, our goal is simple: to help as many students as possible prepare and pay for school with college scholarships. Let us simplify the scholarship search for you too.
