1. Who makes the rules for Teacher Loan Forgiveness and Teacher Loan Cancellation?

   TLF and TLC are federal programs. US DoED makes the rules and provides the funds. The loan servicing companies process the applications to determine eligibility and the amount of the benefit. You can find most of the information you need at the US Department of Education’s loan forgiveness web page. 

2. What is the role of NCDPI in supporting Teacher Loan Forgiveness and Teacher Loan Cancellation?

   NCDPI is responsible for providing the names of North Carolina’s low-income institutions for annual updates to the federal TCLI directory. If you have questions about the TCLI directory or believe a qualifying institution is not listed, please contact NCDPI.
