The government hopes a new loan forgiveness program will give students an incentive to consider a career in public service. In exchange for 10 years on the job in a field of public service such as public safety, education, or social work, the Department of Education will erase certain borrowers’ remaining federal student loan debt.

Some banking industry experts have long regarded the federal student loan program, established in 1965, as one of the most successful public-private partnerships ever created.

On July 28, just a few weeks before the fall semester gets underway, some 40,000 college students in Massachusetts suddenly found themselves facing outstanding tuition bills with no money to pay them, when the nonprofit Massachusetts Educational Financing Authority announced that it wouldn’t be able to provide any private student loans for the upcoming semester. MEFA, the largest issuer of student loans to Massachusetts residents, had already suspended its federal student loan program back in April.
