For students who have already graduated, the Supreme Court has ruled against the proposed one-time student loan cancellation based on income, and all borrowers currently on the payment pause will start making payments in October.
At Salem State, we want to ensure every borrower gets the up-to-date and accurate information and the support they need to begin making payments successfully. That's why we've partnered with Student Connections to provide additional support.

Avoid Student Loan Debt Relief Scams
Federal Student Aid (FSA) continues to warn borrowers about student loan scams. With so many recent efforts to create new programs that provide debt relief, even savvy borrowers might find it hard to tell the difference between a scam and legitimate forgiveness and relief efforts.
Beware of any source that is not directing you to Federal Student Aid or your loan servicer. If you're unsure if an offer is legitimate or have questions, a Student Connections Borrower Advocate can help.
