The Department of Education may cancel up to $17,500 of Federal Direct Stafford Loans and Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loans for a borrower who (1) has operated a small business located in a historically underutilized business zone for at least three years, and (2) is not currently in default on the loan.
