Are there any loan forgiveness or repayment options open to LLPC or LPC’s (licensed professional counselors)?
I am trying to find a program that will help me repay my massive school debt for my M.A. counseling degree. I am mobile and can go where I am needed, and as many of you know the pay is not substantial enough to reapy the cost of schooling in any reasonable number of years.
The military is not an option for me because of health issues, so I am looking for other options.
Not that I’m aware. Unless you go work as a headstart teacher, police officer or with the developmentally delayed and a few others. Contact your lender to see what occupations they will offer forgiveness on the loans. Stafford loans are in general more difficult to get discharged than perkins and these rules don’t apply for private loans.
There is one program set up for public service occuptions, but you have to make 10 years worth of payments to qualify for it. Not exactly something thats set up to actually DO anything, because the federal loans are set up to be paid back on 10 years.
