Student Tuition Recovery Fund and Defense to Repayment GOOD NEWS! You may have the right to access the Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) and/or assert a defense to repayment. Certain former WyoTech and Everest Colleges students may now be eligible to submit a streamlined defense to repayment application. The Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) can pay off your student loans and reimburse you for funds you spent on your education. The STRF is available for students who paid the STRF assessment fee and were enrolled or on an approved leave of absence at the time of closure or who were enrolled within 120 days of the closure. You may also be eligible to assert a defense to repayment of your student loans. By doing so, you would claim that your school violated the law with regard to your loans or the educational services you paid for. For example, it is a violation of the law for schools to report false job placement statistics to prospective students. Based on information from the California Department of Justice, the U.S. Department of Education recently announced that WyoTech and Everest Colleges misrepresented job placement rates for many of its programs of study between 2010 and 2014. WyoTech and Everest students, who were enrolled in one of these programs of study and relied on the misrepresented job placement rates, may be eligible for a streamlined defense to repayment application. See the “Application Process” below for additional details. IMPORTANT! In the upcoming weeks, the U.S. Department of Education will be releasing a streamlined form that eligible WyoTech and Everest students can use to assert a defense to repayment.
