Andrew Taylor
"If you're working in the nonprofit or public arts, or plan to be, and you're carrying Federal student loans, it's a good time to be sure your record-keeping is in order. As a tag-along to the recent health care reform legislation, the Federal government also enhanced its approach to student loans. As a result, there may be loan forgiveness in your (distant) future."
