New York Legal Assistance Group: For-Profit Schools Project

Who We Are

The For-Profit Schools Project (FPSP) of the New York Legal Assistance Group investigates for-profit post-secondary schools, which make money from government-guaranteed student loans yet offer little to their students but crushing debt.  Our attorneys have spoken with many people who have their federal income tax refunds seized and who are hounded by debt collectors over student loans, yet are unable to find a job in the field in which they studied. We are exploring ways to improve the oversight of for-profit schools and to provide systemic relief from student loan debts for former students.
