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.

California? I suppose we should consult our district credentialing office or payroll. Howzabout contacting the loan provider; SallieMae, etc.

In Florida there is a program, but only if you did not have a school loan balance as of 1998. So.... for those teachers (like myself), who have worked in low income schools for over 20 years, but still have a huge balance, don't get a break. I don't think that is fair. Any ideas?
There is a fairly new program called the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program for teachers. Maybe this will help someone.

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
