Teenagers eligible for scholarships through MOCA

According to the Department of Education, anyone who borrowed $12,000 or less in federal student loans and has been in repayment for at least 10 years will have their debts automatically erased in February. Borrowers must enroll in the Biden administration's new income-based repayment plan known as SAVE. It does not matter what repayment plan they were in before, DOE officials said, the debt will be erased as long as they were actively repaying their loans and are now enrolled in SAVE.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — For MOCA’s 100th anniversary, graduating high school seniors on the Teen Art Council 2024-25 can apply for the Vystar MOCA Centennial Scholarship.
