The Biden administration is canceling student loans for another 160,000 borrowers through a combination of existing programs.
The Education Department announced the latest round of cancellation on Wednesday, saying it will erase $7.7 billion in federal student loans. With the latest action, the administration said it has canceled $167 billion in student debt for nearly 5 million Americans through several programs.

The latest relief will go to borrowers in three categories who hit certain milestones that make them eligible for cancellation. It will go to 54,000 borrowers who are enrolled in Biden’s new income-driven repayment plan, along with 39,000 enrolled in earlier income-driven plans, and about 67,000 who are eligible through the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program.
This is why I am seriously considering studying overseas.
A few Australian universities attend college fairs in the USA, because even after you include the price of the flights, accommodation, and the uni itself, studying in Australia can still end up cheaper than the USA. Americans seem to love the idea of going to Australia, too.
Sorry just seeing this, thanks for the recommendation.
I found out that the Nordic countries and Germany have full ride scholarships for International students. Germany has a national program called DAAD. Though they probably give most of them to domestic students. Some of the Nordics even help with other expenses, which is necessary due to their high cost of living.
Makes sense since Australia is also English speaking. Great idea I need to look into.
