Let UUP help with student loan forgiveness. UUP has helped thousands of members get their student loans forgiven through the federal Public Service Loan Forgiveness program. All you need to do is attend one of UUP’s twice-monthly online loan forgiveness clinics.
Secretary-Treasurer Jeri O’Bryan-Losee leads the clinics; she has helped UUP members get more than $13 million in student loans forgiven. Times and dates for the virtual clinics, which run about 90 minutes, are below:

From the “student debt clinic” drop down menu, please select the UUP clinic that you are interested in attending – they are labeled “UUP [Virtual Student Debt Clinic] [date] [time].” In the affiliate field, type in the full name of our local (United University Professions), and it will autofill after a few keystrokes.
Registration is first-come, first-serve, and we must cap attendance for a single clinic at 125 participants to ensure that we are able to provide maximum assistance to attendees. Registration will close 48 hours prior to the virtual clinic. Webinar login information will be provided prior to the clinic to all who register.
The clinics are open to UUP members and their families. If you aren’t a UUP member, click HERE to sign up and become one.
Also, if you’ve gotten your student loans forgiven with UUP’s help, please let us know! Contact O’Bryan-Losee at jobryan@uupmail.org with that news or for information about UUP’s student loan forgiveness program.
