This fall, the Michigan Achievement Scholarship lowered the cost of college for 56,100 students across our state – and that’s a huge deal! This bipartisan scholarship saves students and families thousands of dollars in tuition, opening doors for them to chase their dreams.

This is amazing news! Would love to connect with Michiganders who benefited from this program, if anyone in my network knows any borrowers whose loans were forgiven - send them my way!
The Biden-Harris Administration is announcing a major milestone today in Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF): More than one million borrowers have received loan relief though PSLF. As part of today’s announcement, 60,000 public servants will receive ~$4.5 billion in PSLF loan relief – part of $74 billion in student loan relief for PSLF borrowers so far. This loan relief – the result of significant fixes to PSLF by the Biden-Harris Administration – brings the total for all loan forgiveness approved by the Administration to over $175 billion for more than 4.8 million Americans.
