Loan repayment programs

When embarking on your debt repayment journey, it’s imperative to find programs that might offer to pay a portion of your debt while you work at a specific area for 2-4 years.  

 Here are a few of these programs:

 1. State loan repayment program

MA for example has a program where they pay $ 50,000 towards student loans for eligible health professionals. Find out from your state if you are eligible. Google {your state} loan repayment program! I actually used the MA loan repayment program. You can check out more info featuring my story by reading this article.
