How does one actually apply for Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program for student loans?
I can find information about but no concrete “apply here”– http://studentaid.ed.gov/students/attachments/siteresources/LoanForgivenessv4.pdf
You’re having trouble finding the application info because it hasn’t been created yet. I’m not sure if you are aware, but this program wasn’t even created until October 2007. You may not also be aware that qualifying for the program requires that the applicant first make 120 consecutive loan payments – ten years. Because of that requirement, the earliest that anyone could possibly become qualified for loan forgiveness under this program is in late 2017, or early 2018.
Here’s a Q&A that answers your question:
Q. 2. How do I sign up for this program?
• There are currently no details on signing up for the program.
Borrowers must be in a qualified repayment plan in the Direct Loan
program to be eligible.
• Since the earliest that borrowers can take advantage of public
service loan forgiveness is 2017, application procedures may not
be immediately available. Borrowers should visit the U.S.
Department of Education’s Web site for more information at:

You can find that – and a lot more information about the program here: http://www.counseling.org/Files/FD.ashx?guid=1a69f339-3596-4a98-810a-1e00261b80f2
I hope that helps!
