Student loans are even more complicated for transgender borrowers. Here's help:
MUW graduate Blossom Brown in West Hollywood on June 01, 2019. Blossom C. Brown graduated from Mississippi University for Women in 2015 with a degree in public health education and $40,000 in student loans. When the time came to pay off those loans, she , plus an additional one: she's transgender and her loans were all taken out in her old, male birth name.
did not legally change her name until after her graduation from MUW and submitted all of her college financial documents under her old name and the sex she was assigned at birth. The nonprofit handled most of the documents that needed changing, including Brown's insurance card. As for her student loans, she says, at first she assumed that because they were direct loans from the federal government, "it automatically switches over because I legally changed my name.
Brown discovered that she had to change her name with her student loan servicers when she received a repayment bill in her old name. So she called both of her student loan servicers to update them. She thought it would be safer to pay her loans under her new legal name lest someone suggest she had changed her name to shirk her loans or commit fraud. But to this day, she says, one of those servicers continues to bill her under her former name.
