Did you know there are programs available that will actually pay off all or part of your college loans?

Student Loan Forgiveness - Do You Qualify?

Yes, it's true! Under certain circumstances, the federal government will cancel or “forgive” all or part of an educational loan. This practice is called loan forgiveness. These loan forgiveness programs are not widely advertised, so many Head Start education staff who are eligible may not be aware that they qualify. Those who do are eligible to cancel thousands of dollars owed on their federal student loans. The good news is that the popular Federal Perkins loan program applies to all full time Head Start education staff, and up to 100% of the loan may be forgiven over a five-year period.

If you received a Stafford Loan on or after October 1, 1998, and you teach full time for five consecutive years in a low-income school, you might be eligible to have a portion of the loan cancelled up to $5,000. The U.S. Early Childhood CDA Help - The CDA Prep Binder.
