The Office of Financial Aid for Service at the Interim Unified Agency of the Presbyterian Church (USA) (PCUSA) is dedicated to providing support for individuals serving Presbyterian-related institutions. A key initiative focuses on facilitating Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) and offering expert coaching to help eligible workers reduce student debt and achieve financial stability.

This initiative provides personalized, one-on-one coaching with student loan forgiveness experts to guide participants through the PSLF process. The impact of this program is significant: in the past year alone, PC(USA) borrowers collectively received nearly $8 million in loan forgiveness.

Additionally, qualifying participants have experienced substantial reductions in their monthly payments, with some seeing savings of up to $700 per month. This reduction is equivalent to an annual increase in disposable income of $8,000, providing meaningful financial relief to those who dedicate their careers to service.

This program is available to employees working in Presbyterian-related institutions, including:

  • Clergy and church staff
  • Preschool and early childhood educators
  • Employees of retirement homes
  • Staff at Presbyterian-affiliated colleges, universities, and seminaries
