Borrowers must contact their loan servicer to apply for any of the cancellation or forgiveness options.(A servicer is the organization/entity responsible for collecting payments and managing the loan during repayment.)

• Cancellation/forgiveness is not automatic; borrowers must submit a completed application to their servicer.
• The servicer will determine eligibility and notify the borrower once the request has been processed.
• The borrower is responsible to continue making regular monthly payments until the request has been processed.

Your federal loan servicer will provide details and forms needed to complete the application process for loan cancellation or forgiveness.

Brown University Student Financial Services will handle your requests. You will need to complete the appropriate application form and return the original form to Student Financial Services for processing.

Note: Submitted forms must be original, fax copies are not accepted.
