Marinello Schools of Beauty Loan Forgiveness
You May Qualify for Full Discharge

If you attended Marinello Schools of Beauty, you could be eligible for complete cancellation of your federal student loans under the Borrower Defense to Repayment (BDR) program.

Why Marinello Borrowers Must Take Action

Although the Department of Education announced a “group discharge” for Marinello, many borrowers are:

• Still waiting for discharge with no updates
• Missing from records due to consolidation or loan servicer changes
• Disqualified because they didn’t file properly or missed documentation

Even worse, if your school file is incomplete or your loan history is unclear, you could stay stuck with debt that should’ve been canceled.

Marinello’s Violations Were Massive

The U.S. Department of Education (ED) uncovered serious misconduct:

• Marinello fabricated high school diplomas to enroll ineligible students
• Students were forced to pay out of pocket while being denied eligible aid
• Instructors skipped key training—some students couldn’t even cut hair!
• Thousands were misled about financial aid, costs, and job placement

These violations triggered Marinello’s total shutdown and made borrowers eligible for BDR—but you still need to ensure your claim is filed and recognized.

Who Should Apply for Borrower Defense?

You should take action if:

• You attended any Marinello campus from 2009 to 2016
• You took out federal student loans for your program
• You feel misled, undertrained, or forced into debt

👉 Even if you completed your program, you may still qualify due to proven fraud.
