'''Undue hardship''' is the standard test used by [[bankruptcy]] courts in deciding whether to discharge the obligation on student loans.

The following three conditions must be satisfied in order to discharge (forgive) a student loan:

*the [[debtor]] cannot maintain––based on current income and expenses––a minimal standard of living if forced to repay the loans;

*there are indications that the state of affairs is likely to persist for a significant portion of the repayment period;

*the debtor made good faith efforts to repay the loans.
