FROM Rep. Jennifer Wexton 10/14/22 / Breaking News / Education / Federal Government /
Making higher education more affordable and easing the burden of student debt on Virginia families has been a top priority for me in Congress. Over the past year, there have been two major actions taken to make it easier for those most in need to have their debt forgiven – reforms to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program and President Biden’s targeted student debt relief plan.To help constituents navigate the application process for these opportunities and have your questions answered, I’m hosting a Student Debt Relief Webinar next Thursday, October 20th at 2 p.m.
