Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Week of Action

CPC is excited to work alongside PSLF.nyc, a coalition of nonprofits, government agencies, and labor unions, to spread the word about the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Waiver. Many of our colleagues are already working through the process and will have loans forgiven soon. 

This week, PSLF.nyc will be hosting a free webinar on the waiver this week, which will include an overview of the PSLF program and explain the basics of submitting an application. Click here to register for the webinar on Wednesday, September 14 at 12:00 PM.
