The California Student Aid Commission offers a significant student loan forgiveness program for students who plan to become teachers in California.

The Assumption Program of Loans for Education (APLE) is a financial aid program for future teachers in the form of student loan pay back. It is designed to encourage California undergraduates and credential students to become teachers in “teacher-shortage” areas and high-need schools.

The especially important benefit of the APLE awards is that they repay between $11,000 and $19,000 in outstanding educational loan balances for future teachers. This is in return for four consecutive years of qualifying teaching service in a California K-12 public school.

Currently, more than 3,000 APLE awards remain available for California State University students, but they must be awarded by June 30, 2012. Juniors and seniors who are interested in teaching, as well as teacher credential students in several fields, are eligible for awards.

If you are a student who plans to become a public school teacher in California and have not yet taken advantage of this program, we urge you to do so. In order to ensure that you receive an APLE 2011-12 award, you should apply now.

You can obtain the easy-to-fill-out application for an APLE award at:

www.csusuccess.org/APLE

It is critical that you apply for an APLE award by June 30, 2012. Doing so will enable you to receive an APLE award this year. The availability of APLE loan repayment funds in future years, including funding for teachers already participating in the program, is subject to continued state funding.

We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity immediately and wish you much success in your educational and professional endeavors.

Sincerely,

CSU Chancellor’s Office
