A sign reading
A sign reading "Cancel Student Debt" staged outside of the Supreme Court of the United States in Washington, DC.
  • The Supreme Court ruled that $6 billion in student-debt relief for 200,000 borrowers can move forward.
  • This relief is part of a settlement from a lawsuit filed in 2019 by borrowers who said they were defrauded.
  • Three schools named in the settlement had asked the Supreme Court to pause the relief.

The Supreme Court just handed thousands of student-loan borrowers a victory.
