Cancellation
Nursing student loan
You may qualify to have your loan canceled, allowing the principal and interest to be paid off, either in part or completely. You may be required to make any payments that were due prior to the cancellation period.
Total and permanent disability
If you are unable to engage in any
substantial gainful activity because of a medically determinable, permanent,
and total impairment, the unpaid balance of your loan, including accrued interest,
may be canceled. To claim this entitlement, complete and submit the Loan
Discharge Application: Total and Permanent Disability form to the Student Financial Collections office for
loan cancellation. Include a physician’s statement with your request that
certifies the date of onset, nature, and extent of your disability, along with
copies of all medical records pertinent to the disability.
Death
In the case of death, the unpaid balance of your HPSL loan, including accrued interest, may be canceled. The executor of your estate must submit a death certificate or other official proof which is conclusive under state law.
For more information or a form, contact a Student Financial Collections representative.
