So how much of my loan will be discharged if I was approved for that?
Only the portion of your loan that your school should have returned will be discharged. Contact your loan servicer for more information.
Is my service as a teacher eligible for loan forgiveness? In fact, I have taught full-time in a low-income school for eight complete and consecutive academic years.
Yes, you may be eligible for forgiveness of up to $ 17,500 on your Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans and your Subsidized and Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loans
