WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump signed an executive order on March 7 that will modify the public service loan forgiveness program to nullify eligibility for applicants who work for nonprofit organizations that are deemed to be engaging in improper or illegal activities.
The order will direct the Departments of Education and Treasury to begin adjusting the student loan forgiveness program to disqualify nonprofits participating in a host of activities, including child abuse, discrimination, illegal immigration, and public disruptions, according to a White House official.
