Struggling with student loan debt?

If you’re one of the more than 8 million people aged 50 and older having trouble paying down student loan debt, you’ll be glad to know there’s help available.

Get help managing payments

New government programs may get rid of some — or all of your debt or reduce your monthly payments, freeing up money to pay your household bills and save for retirement.

We’re here to help make student loans less overwhelming. For more than 60 years, AARP Foundation has been helping people find and take advantage of money-saving programs like these.
