The Department of Education is continuing to address its backlog of claims from borrowers who contend they shouldn’t have to repay their student loans, announcing Friday that it has delivered another $55.6 million in relief to students of three closed institutions that made “widespread, substantial misrepresentations” about their programs.
Over 1,800 claims were approved for borrowers who attended Westwood College, Marinello Schools of Beauty and the Court Reporting Institute. The borrowers will receive 100 percent loan discharges.
