Loan Forgiveness for Science Teachers Offered by U.S. Department of Education
Teachers who teach math, science, or special education, and who have taught for five years in a Title I school, may be eligible for new loan forgiveness limits. The legislation recently signed into law by President Bush, The Taxpayer-Teacher Protection Act (P.L. 108-409), authorizes up to $17,500 in loan forgiveness to eligible highly qualified math, science and special education teachers. The increased amount of teacher loan forgiveness is available to new borrowers (teachers with no outstanding loan balances prior to October. 1, 1998, who borrow eligible loans prior to October. 1, 2005). For more information on the program, and to see if you qualify for the loan forgiveness, call the Department's Federal Student Aid Customer Service hotline at 1-800-433-7327.
