Student Debt Relief

Student debt relief programs refer to initiatives and policies aimed at reducing or eliminating the financial burden of student loans carried by individuals. These programs can take various forms, such as loan forgiveness for those in certain professions, income-driven repayment plans, or broad-based debt cancellation.

Discussions around student debt often intersect with discussions about equity and social justice, as not all groups are equally burdened by student debt. Broad-based debt relief program typically have implications for the federal budget, which can affect other areas of spending or necessitate changes in revenue collection.
