Higher education institutions around the country have closed due to COVID-19, sending hundreds of thousands of students home early. Some institutions are offering resources to help meet basic needs. See below for resources and information on delaying payment of federally-serviced student loans without penalty.

Student Loans

• Federally-serviced student loan interest rates have been reduced to 0%.

• All borrowers will automatically be placed on an administrative forbearance which will temporarily suspend monthly payments. The administrative forbearance will last until Sept. 30, 2020. A borrower can request that this administrative forbearance be removed at any time: click here.
