Teach For America doesn't specifically offer loan cancellation or forgiveness to corps members. As a nonprofit organization with limited funds, we unfortunately don't have the resources to forgive the student loans of all of our corps members. However, some school districts and programs offer loan cancellation to teachers who serve a number of years in a school district.

Teach For America is also a member of AmeriCorps, the national service network. Through this relationship, eligible corps members are AmeriCorps members and may receive loan forbearance and interest accrual payments on qualified student loans during their two years of service (with a break between school years). Additionally, those who have not previously received AmeriCorps awards may receive an education award of up to $7,395 at the end of each year of service, which may be used towards future educational expenses or to repay qualified student loans. However, given the uncertainty around AmeriCorps funding and the nature of the AmeriCorps competitive grant process, we cannot guarantee these benefits to all corps members each year.
