The latest relief will go to borrowers in three categories who hit certain milestones that make them eligible for cancellation. It will go to 54,000 borrowers who are enrolled in Biden’s new income-driven repayment plan, along with 39,000 enrolled in earlier income-driven plans, and about 67,000 who are eligible through the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program.

    Sorry just seeing this, thanks for the recommendation.

    I found out that the Nordic countries and Germany have full ride scholarships for International students. Germany has a national program called DAAD. Though they probably give most of them to domestic students. Some of the Nordics even help with other expenses, which is necessary due to their high cost of living.

    Makes sense since Australia is also English speaking. Great idea I need to look into.
