Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program

The Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) is a free federal program that may forgive the remaining balance on direct loans for those who complete 120 qualifying monthly payments under a repayment plan and 10 years of full-time service from a qualifying employer at the time of application and forgiveness.

Explore the PSLF help tool. To interact with this database, you need UVA’s Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN/EIN): 54-6001796.

The government program is complex. However, there are several free tools available to help individuals navigate student loan forgiveness. Please see this document for more information.

There is a requirement for the employer (UVA) to confirm your employment, Employer FEIN, address, employment begin date at UVA, that you are a full-time employee who works at least 40 hours per week on average, and that we are a governmental organization.

A generic version of this form can be downloaded through a link on the PSLF website, or it can be generated with your information when you log into the StudentAid.gov website.

When ready, please send this form to AskHR@virginia.edu for the employer signature requirement.

Please note: This is not a UVA program it is a federal one, and it is not guaranteed.
