  • have not earned a bachelor's degree;
  • be enrolled on a full-time basis in an IHE undergraduate degree or certificate program; and
  • have completed a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and met the eligibility requirements for title IV assistance.

Directs the Secretary to forgive students' outstanding principal on such interest-free loans if they:

  • receive a bachelor's degree within a set timeframe, determined by the Secretary;
  • maintained a certain grade point average or majored in a science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) field while enrolled in the IHE; and
  • meet any other requirements established by the Secretary.

Requires the Secretary to award such loans and grant such loan forgiveness on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to the availability of appropriations.
