Student loans, unlike grants and work-study, are borrowed money that
must be repaid, with interest, just like car loans and home mortgages.
You cannot have these loans canceled because you didn’t like the
education you received, didn’t get a job in your field of study or
because you’re having financial difficulty. Loans are legal
obligations that you’ll have to repay.
