PHOENIX — ABC15 is following up on Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff's recent visit to Arizona where he highlighted new plans from the Biden Administration to reduce student loan debt.
"When you interviewed the Second Gentleman, did he say anything about the Parent Plus Loan program? I was hoping those loans can be forgiven also." According to loan giant Sallie Mae, Parent Plus Loans are also known as"Direct Plus Loans." They are loans from the federal government that let parents pay for their kids' college or trade school tuition. Sallie Mae also says grandparents or legal guardians are typically not allowed to take out these kinds of loans.
As soon as we got that response from the White House, we checked back in with ABC15 viewer Teresa who responded by saying:"Thank you so much - it helps a lot."
