If you attended DigiPen Institute of Technology and are struggling with federal student loan debt, you may be eligible to have your loans fully discharged through the Borrower Defense to Repayment (BDR) program. This program was designed for students who were misled or defrauded by their schools — and DigiPen is now under serious scrutiny.
In 2018, DigiPen was the subject of a lawsuit alleging it misled students about job placement rates and the real value of its programs. The accusations focused on inflated promises of employment in the competitive video game industry, where many graduates failed to secure roles commensurate with their expensive education.
These are exactly the types of issues that qualify under the Borrower Defense program.
Borrower Defense allows federal student loan borrowers to request cancellation of their debt if their school misled them or engaged in misconduct.
You may qualify if
"I was told DigiPen would all but guarantee a job in game development. I graduated with over $80K in debt and ended up working tech support. I felt completely betrayed." — Former DigiPen student, class of 2017
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone — and you may have a strong case.
You can start your Borrower Defense claim immediately, either on your own or with help.
