In honor of the season two premiere of Grown-ish (you know, the show that stars the crazy-talented Yara Shahidi), the sitcom's network Freeform is partnering with scholarship app Scholly to pay off $125,000 in student loans. Yes, you read that correctly.

According to Deadline, "The program is aimed at current students and graduates with an outstanding loan balance and is intended to help student loan borrowers pay off debts that may be holding them back." As Freeform (formerly known as ABC Family) emphasizes, "college is great, but student loans suck," which, yes. Scholly notes that the average college student will be $40,000 in debt after completing their four years of education.
