The Project on Predatory Student Lending
The Project on Predatory Student Lending (PPSL) is the leading legal voice for borrowers defrauded by predatory colleges, with more than one million clients and $16 billion dollars in cancelled student loan debt. Using bold, strategic litigation and advocacy, together with our clients, we hold institutions accountable to the law and influence policy solutions to create a more just and affordable education system.
Demanding Accountability & Affordability
Cases
Through our litigation, PPSL has won landmark cases to protect borrower rights, recover money owed, and cancel fraudulent debt. Our ongoing cases hold predatory colleges accountable and force the Department of Education to act on behalf of students and stop protecting this insidious industry.

Students React To Sweet Victory ⏺
"Everest Institute robbed me of my education. I was 19 with a one-year-old child when they scammed me into believing their program would give me and my son the chance for a better future. My son is in high school now. For so long this debt has been hanging over me and to finally have that burden lifted will make such a big difference in our life. I hope every person cheated by their school gets that opportunity.”
— Amanda Kulka, a former Everest student whose loans were recently cancelled through borrower defense as a result of the PPSL’s victory in the lawsuit, Vara v Cardona.
