Student Financial Aid Provisions - Higher Education Act
Yes. The Higher Education Act now provides new loan forgiveness opportunities for some teachers who teach in high-need areas.
The new loan forgiveness opportunities will attract and reward those who teach where the need is greatest by forgiving up to $5,000 of student loans after a teacher teaches for five years in a low-income community.
The loan forgiveness provisions apply only to new borrowers on or after October 1, 1998.
Teachers who meet this requirement may obtain $5,000 of loan forgiveness after they have been employed for five consecutive years in a school that is qualified for Perkins loan cancellation. Secondary school teachers must teach in a subject area that is relevant to their major. Elementary school teachers must have knowledge and teaching skills in reading, writing, mathematics, and other areas of the school's curriculum. Defaulted loans are not eligible for forgiveness (unless the borrower has made satisfactory repayment arrangements with the lender), and no payments will be refunded.
