I actually read this article. I didn’t notice student loans being mentioned. Certain federal student loans are forgiven if the student agrees to work 3-4 years after graduation in federally designated economically disadvantaged areas. I wonder how 4 years’ worth of free tuition figures into these student teachers’ enthusiasm?

I wonder if they realize that that money amounts to combat pay?

So these really are not loans but are "conditional grants" where the person has to repay if they don't meet the post graduation work requirement.

This is just another federal giveaway IMO.
