Hey guys,


This may be a question for Julie or anyone else with good knowledge on this topic.

I have heard that government funded (Stafford, Grad Plus) loans are forgiven if you are permanent disability.

Is that true? I can't find info on this anywhere.

Obviously I'm no where near disability, but I realize that CF can take a dive really at any point so I want to make sure I'm planning properly for my financial future.

Any insight you might have I would be really grateful for. THANKS! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Of course after I posted I found my answer... sort of.

It doesn't say what types of loans it's for, but maybe this will help us get to the answer...
