US Dept. of Education Webinar: Helping Teachers Afford Comprehensive Pathways into the Profession and Achieve Loan Forgiveness
All Grades
The U.S. Department of Education invites teachers to an upcoming webinar 鈥� 鈥淗elping Teachers Afford Comprehensive Pathways into the Profession and Achieve Loan Forgiveness鈥� 鈥� on Wednesday, August 31st from 1:00 to 2:00 PM Eastern Time. The webinar will focus on opportunities to learn about significant improvements to the program and the limited time waiver to support program affordability and decrease student loan debt for educators.
The purpose of this webinar is to discuss how educators can benefit from the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program, specifically the temporary waiver which provides time-limited changes to rules that allow borrowers to receive credit for past periods of repayment that would otherwise not qualify for PSLF. Borrowers are encouraged to act now since these changes are currently set to expires on Oct. 31, 2022. The webinar will also highlight recent improvements to the Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant program and best practices for implementation. These changes provide greater flexibilities and address previous challenges with successfully completing the program. Respecting and honoring teachers requires that we ensure educators receive financial support where eligible from these important federal programs.
