What type of Loan Cancellation and Forgiveness Programs are available?
The University of Arizona does not determine loan cancellation programs. Under certain circumstances, your educational loan, or a portion of your loan, may be cancelled, forgiven, or discharged. The Perkins Loan program offers the most forgiveness plans, but Stafford loans can also be forgiven. If you plan to become a public school teacher, public health worker, a Peace Corps volunteer, or a child care provider, you may want to look into these programs. Information about these programs is available at http://finaid.org/loans/forgiveness.phtml.
