Student Loan Forgiveness Act 2012

Gov. Lynch- Please support the Student Loan Forgiveness Act of 2012 and help our NH students with repayment of their student loans.

Why is this important?

The State of NH has one of the highest (if not highest) student loan debts in the nation. On average, a student in NH finishes college with at least $30,000 in student loans. To make this situation worse....we are unable to find jobs at a rate where we can begin to make the payments back 6 months after graduating. Do we really want students to be discouraged at continuing their education because of this? I'd hate to think of the consequences of this happening. Lack of qualified workers in certain jobs would then create poorer productivity and thus affect our State's reputation.
