Student Loan Forgiveness Programs For Teachers?

Well I'm having the hardest time posting a reply to the teacher that posted to ask if such programs are available so I will post the answer here on my blog. The answer to this is Yes HOWEVER each program is different. For instance there is one particular Student Loan Forgiveness Program for teachers that let them apply for $2500 each year until a total amount of $10,000 has been applied towards paying off their student loan. However this particular program has its own set of requirements and eligibilities. For instances teachers who teach K-12 are eligible to apply but must teach in either a rural or urban area.
