The
Teacher Direct Loan Forgiveness program is available for Direct Loan borrowers. Under this program, if you teach full time for five complete and consecutive academic years in certain elementary schools, secondary schools or educational service agencies that serve low-income families and meet other qualifications, you may be eligible for forgiveness of up to a combined total of $17,500 on your Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans. Your Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS) loans cannot be included.
If you have a loan from the Federal Perkins Loan program, you might be eligible for
loan cancellation for full-time teaching at a low-income school or teaching in certain subject areas. If you have borrowed Federal Perkins loans at ASU, you may contact
ASU Collections for more information and visit
ECSI to access the appropriate forms.
