Paying for College
1

<p>I've just received my acceptance letters from boston college and tulane and i talked to my counselor. he told me that if i decide to major in education or nursing after two years "the government" will pay off my loans from the first two years. is that true?</p>

<p>There are specific instances when teachers can get gradual portions of your loans "forgiven" (Stafford, Perkins, etc.).</p>

<p>I am including a few links that give you infomation as to some of the guidelines, such as teaching in a critical needs area or teaching at qualifying low-income schools. My son will be a secondary ed/mathematics major so I had run across this info along the way.</p>
