Temporary Educator Loan Forgiveness Program

Application Open!

House Bill 22-1220 created the Temporary Educator Loan Forgiveness Program for K-12 licensed educators and counselors working and living in Colorado. The application is open through June 15, 2022. This program is using the same application as the Colorado Educator Loan Forgiveness program. Contact [email protected] for details.

Priority will be given to applicants early in their career and working in rural Colorado (or) in a content-shortage area anywhere in Colorado. Applicants must have attended an educator prep program in Colorado or completed their counseling studies in Colorado. Applicants will be eligible for up to $5,000 in loan forgiveness annually. This is a 2-year program. Applicants must re-apply in the second year to be considered for an award in that cycle. Applications submitted for consideration of the Educator Loan Forgiveness program between Dec 15, 2021 – April 15, 2022 will be reviewed for eligibility for this program as well. There is no need to submit another application.
