Private student balances, explained plainly.
This path is for people looking at private student loan balances and whether a personal loan request might be relevant. Federal student loan programs, forgiveness, and servicing are not something BorrowForward provides.
Who this is for
People with private student loan balances who want to see whether participating partners may review a request. It is not federal aid, refinance, or forgiveness.
Helpful to have ready
- Whether the balance is private or federal
- A rough remaining balance
- What you currently pay each month

Questions
BorrowForward does not refinance or service federal student loans. Refinancing federal loans into a private product can mean losing federal protections — that decision is between you and a lender.

Start your request, review any available offers, and continue with a participating lender. There’s no obligation to accept a loan.
