Your service obligation required for forgiveness is based upon the number of loans received.  One loan equates to one year of service; two loans equates to two years of service, etc., which is based on full-time qualifying employment.

The Direct Loan program provides low interest, long-term loans to students and their parents to help meet educational expenses. Direct Subsidized Stafford Loans are awarded on the basis of financial need. Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loans are designed to provide financial aid to students who do not demonstrate need for the Subsidized Stafford Loan. Payment on both the subsidized and unsubsidized loan begins six months after the student completes or leaves his/her educational program. Students must first file a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) to apply for student loans. Any student who borrows student loan funds must complete a Master Promissory Note and entrance loan counseling as conditions of receiving student loan monies. Students must also complete exit counseling up graduating, withdrawing, or dropping below half time status. Master Promissory Notes, Entrance Counseling, and Exit Counseling must be completed at: www.studentloans.gov. This is a loan, and repayment is required.
