The quick and easy application for the 2026 Colorado Educator Loan Forgiveness is now open (through April 15th). Every Colorado educator with Federal student loans should apply for this. While the number of awards is limited, some of you will receive $5,000 to apply toward your student loans. And even though not everyone will receive an award, it’s really important that you all apply as that sends a strong signal to the Colorado Legislature that they should not only continue this program, but expand the amount of funding.
While this is designed mainly for rural (pdf) and hard-to-fill positions, keep in mind that hard-to-fill positions encompasses the majority of K-12 positions these days (including such obscure categories as… elementary teacher :-). So please take the five minutes necessary to complete the application.
