How to Gauge Employee Interest in Student Loan Support and PSLF Benefits

If you’re a nonprofit employer, chances are some of your team members qualify for Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF), but they don’t have the support they need to access it.

At SavvyFi, we offer hands-on PSLF guidance and student loan assistance benefits that reduce stress, improve retention, and align with your mission.

But first things first: how do you know if your team would actually use these benefits?

Below is a ready-to-send set of survey questions to help you find out.

Overview: SavvyFi’s PSLF Support

We offer full PSLF support for eligible nonprofit employees—including:

  • One-on-one eligibility assessments
  • Help navigating program fixes (loan type, payment plan, etc.)
  • Annual follow-up and compliance tracking
  • Direct support via email, Zoom, or phone

Pricing is simple: a flat annual fee covers your whole team. No per-user charges. No admin burden.

We also handle employee outreach, onboarding, and education sessions so you don’t have to.

Consider the following questions when polling your team. You can copy and paste them into your own internal tool or modify and use our ready-to-send templates:
