Early childhood and K-12 educators can apply for loan forgiveness through the state

Early childhood and K-12 educators can apply for up to $5,000 in federal student loan forgiveness annually through the Early Childhood Education Educator or the Temp Educator Loan Forgiveness program. This second round of applications will be accepted until Thursday, Sept. 15. With limited funds, not all who apply will receive an award.

The ECE program for educators working with children from birth to age 5 is a partnership between the Office of Early Childhood and the Colorado Department of Higher Education. Application instructions and a checklist of information can be found on the ECE Educator Loan Forgiveness webpage. For questions, email [email protected].

View the Temporary Educator Loan Forgiveness Program webpage for information and to apply for the program for K-12 educators. Educators do not need to have received teaching education in the state of Colorado to qualify. For questions, please email [email protected].

Financial wellness support is available to state of Colorado loan forgiveness program applicants free of charge. The support includes help navigating the Federal Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program, counseling to find the best student loan repayment strategy and more. For a list of additional funding opportunities for in-service and aspiring educators, visit CDHE’s website.
