Teacher Loan Forgiveness Forms
The Teacher Loan Forgiveness Program is intended to encourage individuals to enter into and continue in the teaching profession.
To qualify for teacher loan forgiveness, a borrower must teach full time for five consecutive, complete academic years at an eligible elementary or secondary school that serves low-income families, and must meet other criteria listed on the application. Depending on the criteria met, a borrower may qualify for up to $5,000 or up to $17,500 in forgiveness of his or her outstanding loan balance. For the specific criteria for teacher loan forgiveness, click on the application below.
Application
A borrower seeking teacher loan forgiveness must complete and forward the following application to his or her loan holder:
Forbearance
At the borrower's request, the borrower's loan holder must grant the borrower a forbearance in annual increments during each of the borrower's five years of qualifying teaching service, if the loan holder believes that the borrower will qualify for forgiveness of his or her entire anticipated outstanding loan balance at the end of his or her five years of teaching service. A borrower who qualifies for the forbearance will not be required to make payments while performing his or her service.
A borrower should complete the following forbearance form on an annual basis and forward it to his or her loan holder.
