Loan Forgiveness for Teachers
Jill Hare | Editor, TheApple
TheApple has researched and compiled a complete list of states that offer loan forgiveness for teachers. Not all states offer loan forgiveness, but there are federal programs that may help teachers erase school debt.

I have gone through this article and have got these teachers may receive loan forgiveness up to the difference between $17,500 and the amount that had previously been forgiven only if the borrower is otherwise eligible and has five complete consecutive years of qualified teaching service as a highly qualified full-time mathematics or science teacher in an eligible secondary school or a highly qualified special education teacher.

Birkman, though I agree with you, if everyone who had student loans claimed bankruptcy, the economy would go even further into the toilet. It would be nice if they did something to reward the students who had good grades. Cut us some kind of slack.

I don't know about a state loan forgiveness program in Kansas, but Wichita USD 259 has one. Its called Grow Your Own Teacher and they have info posted on their website usd259.com. They are working with local colleges like Wichita State and Friends University and it pretty much guarantees a teaching position after graduation

I just graduated with a degree in History and Global Studies. I don't want to teach now because I am traveling and want to work for a non-profit. Though I am thinking of getting certified before graduate school. Can I get loan forgiveness for my undergrad if I am not teaching before graduate school? Does this even make sense?
