About this site
IBRinfo was created by the nonprofit, nonpartisan Project on Student Debt to help student loan borrowers learn about two new federal programs: Income-Based Repayment (IBR) and Public Service Loan Forgiveness. IBRinfo's partner organizations are helping to spread the word about the site and these important borrower benefits.
IBR and Public Service Loan Forgiveness were created in 2007 as part of a new federal law, but they won't be fully available to borrowers until July 1, 2009. The U.S. Department of Education expects to finalize the rules for how each program will actually work by November 1, 2008. If you register with your email address, we'll make sure you're among the first to know about important developments and tips for taking advantage of these new benefits.

About the Project on Student Debt
The Project on Student Debt works to increase public understanding of the changing role of student debt and its implications for our families, economy and society. Recognizing that loans play a critical role in making college possible, the Project's goal is to identify cost-effective solutions that expand educational opportunity, protect family financial security, and advance economic competitiveness. The new Income Based Repayment program is modeled directly on a proposal developed by the Project and supported by a broad coalition of student, loan industry, and higher education groups. The Project is managed by the Institute for College Access & Success.
