I, too, am a 64 year old senior citizen, that has a school loan of approximately $17,000. I have not been able to pay on it this last year as I have had 3 surgeries in a four month period. I have not been able to return to work yet.

Is there any help? Is there any programs for senior citizens re-paying a school loan or can this be a forgiven debt, because of my circumstances?

I am also a senior citizen. Are there any repayment programs for seniors?

I am a college graduate with a student loan. I need to know if there are any programs to assist me in repaying student loans as I do not have the means to do so.

Hi Caolyn,
Have you applied for financial aid to help you pay for school? Visit our section on financial aid if you need more information: http://www.educationgrant.com/financial-aid/. You will need to fill out a FAFSA form (financial aid application) in order to receive financial aid or grants. You may also qualify for scholarships, which can also provide money for your education. Do some research – contact the financial aid department or guidance department of the college you are currently attending and see what scholarships are available. Also – remember to not miss deadlines for applying for financial aid and passing in your FAFSA! Feel free to visit http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/ for more information.
Best of luck to you! Thanks for reading!
