Forbes: Will Student Loans Be Cancelled If Trump Shuts Down Department Of Education?
President Trump’s desire to abolish the Department of Education (DOE) would not eliminate federal student loans. Such a move would require congressional approval, and if successful, the oversight of student loans would likely transfer to another agency, such as the Treasury Department.
Borrowers would still be responsible for their debts, as the loans are legally binding. While existing loan servicers would continue to manage repayments, forgiveness programs could face changes or elimination. Overall, the potential restructuring could introduce new uncertainties for borrowers.
