We are pleased to announce that we have posted a Fact Sheet that provides information about the Fresh Start Program suitable for confined or incarcerated borrowers. It contains answers to questions the Department of Education often receives from confined or incarcerated individuals about Fresh Start including facts about the program, how to sign up, and what happens after loans are no longer in default.
This fact sheet can also be found on the Prison Education Programs Topics page on Federal Student Aid’s Knowledge Center along with other information, forms, and resources related to Prison Education Programs.
If you have any questions about Fresh Start for confined or incarcerated students or about Prison Education Programs, please contact PEP@ed.gov.
