The Project on Predatory Student Lending (PPSL) is surveying student loan borrowers who attended schools that have been approved for automatic group discharge for by the U.S. Department of Education.

Though we can't respond to each survey, your responses will help us support all student loan borrowers. The survey takes about 10 minutes. Thank you for your time!
