    Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program 

    Here’s what you need to know about the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program (PSLF) Waiver: it’s available to anyone who works in the government or nonprofit sectors. If you have worked for 10 years, you are eligible to have your federal loans fully forgiven. If you are a borrower with fewer than 10 years, there are still certain steps you must take right now.

     The program is temporary and only lasts until October 31, 2022. Register here for a PSLF webinar this week!

      A Sonia Sanchez poem

       

      Title: A Poem for My Father (96 years old on Feb. 29, 2000)
      With exact wings
      Your words sailed back
      into your throat. Could
      not fly forward.
      Your mouth face
      startled by this autumn
      Thunder went south again.
      I had forgotten the salute
      of death, how it waits Militarily
      on the outskirts of our skin.
      I had forgotten how death
      howls inside our veins.
      O father, how much like a child
      again I felt as I ran down doctors
      painted on porcelain corridors.
      O My father, as I breathed
      inhaled for us both,
      I began to sing a song
      you sang when I was little
      without a poet's name,
      Afraid of all the shadows
      cremating my bones,

      Remember the nite,
      The nite you said
      I love you
      remember...


      I remembered your voice swollen
      in a ritual of words on
      152nd Street and St. Nicholas Place.
      Now I, daughter of applause,
      hands waterlogged with memory,
      asked for nothing more
      as I circled your hospital room,
      sequined with our breaths
      in an hour-glass of sound.
