If you attended Katharine Gibbs School and feel like you were scammed, misled, or pressured into massive student loans, you're not alone. And more importantly, you may not have to pay them back.
Katharine Gibbs School has been directly named in federal lawsuits and settlements that opened the door for borrower defense to repayment claims. That means former students who were lied to about job prospects, accreditation, or program quality may be entitled to complete student loan forgiveness.
Katharine Gibbs School was included in the Sweet v. Cardona settlement list which the Department of Education uses to grant automatic borrower defense discharges for certain institutions with a history of deceptive practices.

But here’s the catch: you must file a claim (unless you were covered under the automatic Sweet v. Cardona relief). And because DOE systems are overloaded with BDR claims, your best shot is submitting a bulletproof application with legal and historical evidence.
As of May 2025, wage garnishment, tax refund seizures, and default collections are back on. If you defaulted on loans from Katharine Gibbs, you're at risk.
Even if you haven't defaulted yet, now is the time to act.
