Teacher Loan Forgiveness

Teacher Loan Forgiveness (TLF) is a forgiveness program for full-time educators who are employed by a low-income elementary, a low in-come secondary school, or educational service agency.

Forgiveness amounts are dependent on what subject the educator teaches. Highly qualified teachers who teach math, science, or special education can receive up to $17,500 in forgiveness. All other educators can qualify for up to $5,000 in forgiveness.

Educators must teach five consecutive years at a low-income school to qualify. FFELP and Direct loan programs are eligible for TLF.

More information regarding TLF can be found at the Student Aid Website or by accessing the official Teacher Loan Forgiveness Application.
