The Teacher Loan Forgiveness Program is intended to encourage individuals to enter and continue in the teaching 

profession. Under this program, if you teach full time for five consecutive, complete academic years at certain 

elementary and secondary schools or for certain 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 in principal and interest on 

your Direct Loan and/or FFEL program loans. For complete eligibility requirements, see Sections 8-10.

Throughout this form, all references to “the Department” mean the U.S. Department of Education.

The chief administrative officer of the school or educational service agency where you performed your qualifying 

teaching service must complete Section 5.

If you taught at more than one school or for more than one educational service agency during the same academic year, 

the chief administrative officer from one of the schools or educational service agencies may complete Section 5. 

However, all of the schools and/or educational service agencies must be listed. If you taught at different schools or for 

different educational service agencies during different academic years, the chief administrative officers from all of the 

schools or educational service agencies must certify your eligibility. If you need more than one chief administrative 

officer's certification, the additional certifications, containing the information in Section 5, may be provided on a 

separate piece of paper and submitted with your completed form.

Return the completed form to the address shown in Section 6. If you are applying for forgiveness of loans that are held 

by different loan holders, you must submit a separate form to each loan holder.

SECTION 8: DEFINITIONS

 A teacher is a person who provides direct classroom teaching or classroom-type teaching in a non-classroom setting, 

including special education teachers (see below). NOTE: School librarians, guidance counselors, and other 

administrative staff are not considered teachers for the purposes of this loan forgiveness program.

o Special education means specially designed instruction, at no cost to parents, to meet the unique needs of a 

child with a disability (see below), including instruction conducted in the classroom, in the home, in hospitals 

and institutions, and in other settings; and instruction in physical education (see below). 

o A child with a disability is a child who needs special education and related services because the child has an 

intellectual disability, a hearing impairment (including deafness), a speech or language impairment, a visual 

impairment (including blindness), a serious emotional disturbance, an orthopedic impairment, autism, a 

traumatic brain injury, another health impairment, or a specific learning disability. For a child age 3 through 9, 

the term “a child with a disability” may, at the discretion of the state and the local educational agency, include a 

child who needs special education and related services because the child is experiencing developmental delays, 

as defined by the state and as measured by appropriate diagnostic instruments and procedures, in one or more 

of the following areas: physical development, cognitive development, communication development, social or 

emotional development, or adaptive development.
Page 4 of 8

SECTION 8: DEFINITIONS (CONTINUED)

o Physical education means the development of physical and motor fitness, fundamental motor skills and 

patterns, and skills in aquatics, dance, and individual and group games and sports (including intramural and 

lifetime sports), and includes special physical education, adapted physical education, movement education, and 

motor development.

 An elementary school is a public or nonprofit private school that provides elementary education as determined by 

state law or, if the school is not in a state, by the Department.

 A secondary school is a public or nonprofit private school that provides secondary education as determined by state 

law or, if the school is not in a state, by the Department.

 An educational service agency is a regional public multiservice agency (not a private organization) authorized by 

state statute to develop, manage, and provide services or programs to local educational agencies (such as public 

school districts), as defined in section 9101 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended.

 An academic year is:

o One complete school year at the same school or for the same educational service agency, or

o Two complete and consecutive half years at different schools or for different educational service agencies, or

o Two complete and consecutive half years from different school years at either the same school or for the same 

educational service agency or at different schools or for different educational service agencies.

Half years do not include summer sessions. Two half years generally fall within a 12-month period. For schools or 

educational service agencies that have a year-round program of instruction, a minimum of nine months is 

considered an academic year.

 Full time means the standard used by a state in defining full-time employment as a teacher. If you teach in more 

than one school or educational service agency, full time is based on the combination of all of your qualifying 

employment.

 Loans that are eligible for forgiveness are Federal Direct Stafford/Ford Loans (Direct Subsidized Loans), Federal 

Direct Unsubsidized Stafford/Ford Loans (Direct Unsubsidized Loans), Subsidized Federal Stafford Loans, 

Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loans, and any portion of a Federal Direct Consolidation Loan or Federal 

Consolidation Loan that paid off an eligible Direct Subsidized Loan, Direct Unsubsidized Loan, Subsidized Federal 

Stafford Loan, or Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan. Direct PLUS Loans, Federal PLUS Loans, and any portion of a 

Direct Consolidation Loan or Federal Consolidation Loan that repaid a PLUS loan are not eligible for forgiveness. 

 The holder of your Direct Loan Program loans is the Department. The holder of your FFEL Program loans may be a 

lender, secondary market, guaranty agency, or the Department. Your loan holder may use a servicer to handle billing 

and other communications related to your loans. References to “your loan holder” on this form mean either your 

loan holder or your servicer.

 The chief administrative officer is the official who has access to employment records that establish your eligibility 

for loan forgiveness in accordance with the requirements explained on this form, and who is authorized to verify 

your qualifying employment at a school or by an educational service agency. Depending on your employer, the chief 

administrative officer may be a superintendent, a human resources official or other school district or educational 

service agency official, or a principal or assistant principal.

 A forbearance is a temporary cessation of payments, an extension of time for making payments, or temporary 

acceptance of smaller payments than previously scheduled. You are responsible for any interest that accrues on a 

loan during forbearance. If you do not pay the interest that accrues on the loan, the interest may be capitalized.

o Capitalization is the addition of unpaid interest to the principal balance of your loan. This will increase the 

principal and total cost of your loan.

PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS (INCLUDING TEACHERS EMPLOYED BY EDUCATIONAL SERVICE AGENCIES)

To be a highly qualified teacher, a teacher of public elementary or secondary school students must:

 Have obtained full state certification as a teacher (including certification obtained through alternative routes to 

certification) or passed the state teacher licensing examination, and hold a license to teach in that state, except that 

when used with respect to teaching in a public charter school, the term “highly qualified teacher” means that the 

teacher meets the requirements set forth in the state’s public charter school law; and

 Not have had certification or licensure requirements waived on an emergency, temporary, or provisional basis.

In addition –

A teacher of elementary school students who is new to the profession also is considered highly qualified if the teacher:

mathematics, and other areas of the basic elementary school curriculum (which may consist of passing a staterequired certification or licensing test or tests in reading, writing, mathematics, and other areas of the basic 

elementary school curriculum).

A teacher of middle or secondary school students who is new to the profession also is considered highly qualified if the 

teacher:

 Holds at least a bachelor’s degree; and

 Has demonstrated a high level of competency in each of the academic subjects in which the teacher teaches by:

o Passing a rigorous state academic subject test in each of the academic subjects in which the teacher teaches 

(which may consist of a passing level of performance on a state-required certification or licensing test or tests in 

each of the academic subjects in which the teacher teaches); or

o Successful completion, in each of the academic subjects in which the teacher teaches, of an academic major, a 

graduate degree, coursework equivalent to an undergraduate academic major, or advanced certification or 

credentialing.

A teacher of elementary, middle, or secondary school students who is not new to the profession also is considered 

highly qualified if the teacher holds at least a bachelor’s degree and:

 Meets the applicable standards of a teacher of elementary, middle, or secondary school students who is new to the 

profession; or

 Demonstrates competence in all the academic subjects in which the teacher teaches based on a high objective, 

uniform state standard of evaluation that:

in consultation with core content specialists, teachers, principals, and school administrators;

o Provides objective, coherent information about the teacher’s attainment of core content knowledge in the 

academic subjects in which a teacher teaches;

o Is applied uniformly to all teachers in the same academic subject and the same grade level throughout the state;

1998, or on any Direct Loan or FFEL program loans that you obtained while you had an outstanding balance on a 

Direct Loan or FFEL program loan made on or before October 1, 1998, you may qualify for loan forgiveness if you 

later paid all of those loans in full so that you had no outstanding balance on any Direct Loan or FFEL program loan
