All federally backed student loans are, for practical purposes, NON-DISCHARGEABLE. I say practically because the only way it would be dischargeble is if there was no way you would be in a condition to pay the loan off. Court precedent basically allows discharge if, for example, you are paralyzed from the neck down, have MS, etc... (severe medical condition that incapacitates you)
