You probably had some kind of government-backed loan. The answer (probably) is NO, bankruptcy would not discharge the debt.

The actual answer is probably yes, it is dischargeable. Just because it is government backed does not mean it is not dischargeable. There are a few exceptions but this does not sound like one.
