These resources are designed to help Early Childhood Educators access the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program.
The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in financial hardship for many, including members of the early care and education (ECE) workforce. If you work for a qualified employer—including many Head Start, preschool and child care programs—you may now be eligible for federal student loan forgiveness for your important public service, even if you were not eligible before.
The Department of Education announced major changes to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program for a limited time, as a result of the COVID-19 national emergency. Some borrowers will need to consolidate their federal loans and/or submit a PSLF form by October 31, 2022 to take advantage of this opportunity.
Please share this PDF (PDF) with your networks to ensure that early childhood educators are aware of this opportunity and can apply by October 31, 2022.
