As you may have seen, the past few months have been filled with significant student loan changes that could directly impact your community. Last week, the Supreme Court announced that the Trump administration can proceed with mass layoffs at the Department of Education. In March, President Trump issued an executive order that reshapes organizations’ eligibility for Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF). Most recently, the negotiated rulemaking process concluded, which will usher in even more changes to the PSLF program.
Savi is offered to Augsburg employees and their immediate family members as a tool to explore the various PSLF options and navigate enrollment. To better understand these policy changes and implications, Savi is hosting a stakeholder call on Tuesday, August 5th, 2025, to share the following:
– How the Department of Education layoffs affect student loans, including application review and payment counts
– What and when to expect changes to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program
– What action borrowers should be taking right now

Hi, My name is Beth Garcia I am a 3rd year Biopsychology and Chemistry student. As I was wrapping up my summer research through McNair.
On July 25th—my mom’s birthday—both of my parents were hospitalized. My dad is battling pneumonia, and my mom had to undergo emergency surgery to remove her appendix. She’s also experiencing respiratory issues.
This has been incredibly hard on my family, emotionally and financially. We’ve created a GoFundMe to help with their medical bills and recovery costs.
If you’re able to donate or even just share the link, it would mean the world to me.
(Link in bio or below)
Thank you so much for your love and
