Student Loans

If you teach in a low-income school or in a critical-needs academic subject area, it may be possible for you to cancel or defer your student loans. For additional information, go to http://studentaid.ed.gov/PORTALSWebApp/students/english/teachercancel.jsp?tab=repa.

Attention Teachers: Did You Know? Do you teach math, science or special education?  Have you taught for five years in a Title I school?  The Taxpayer-Teacher Protection Act (P.L. 108-409) authorizes up to $17,500 in loan forgiveness to eligible highly qualified math, science and special education teachers.  This dramatic increase of $12,500 above the previous loan limits is meant to ease the shortage of teachers in key subject areas. For detailed information on the program and to find out if you qualify for the loan forgiveness, please call the Department's Federal Student Aid Customer Service hotline at 1-800-433-7327.  More information on the loan forgiveness limits is posted on the Web at: http://www.ifap.ed.gov/dpcletters/GEN0414.html.
