New York to begin accepting loan amnesty applications - the Sun

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced that New York State will begin accepting applications for the new ‘Get On Your Feet’ Loan Forgiveness Program Thursday, Dec. 31. First announced as part of Governor Cuomo’s 2015 Opportunity Agenda, the program offers up to 24 months of federal student loan debt relief to recent college graduates living in the State. “Ensuring students are able pay for college and not saddled with debt is critical for both their individual success and the continued economic growth of New York State,” Governor Cuomo said. “With this program, we are telling recent graduates: if you invest in New York’s future, we will invest in yours.” http://www.suncommunitynews.com/articles/new-york-to-begin-accepting-loan-amnesty-applications/
