Hi all! I'll be starting an internship at a VA for 2020-2021. I'm starting to think about postgrad employment and would like to work at a VA that would offer EDRP. Unfortunately I have a substantial amount of education debt. I have a few questions related to EDRP:
1) Can it be negotiated if it's not listed on an initial job posting for a position?
2) Would anyone be willing to share with me (on here or through private message) how much relief psychologists can typically qualify for? I did my undergrad in psychology as well. I keep seeing up to 200k and to me that means I could somehow find a way to pay 30k a year in loan debt just to find out they will only give me 2k or something like that. Hopefully that makes sense. Or do you apply and then they tell you how much you qualify for and then you are free to pay up to thaf amount for the most you're eligible for?
3) I am assuming you pay your loan each year, provide documentation, and then you get a check for what you paid. Can you take that money and apply it to your student loan for the next year you're eligible for?
Thanks for your help!
