I know that some states(MS for example) have Critical Need Scholarships for those in education. There is also the national Teach for America Program. Both programs place teachers in critical need areas, mostly rural and/or inner city areas, for about two years. I have known some people to have their loans paid and others who have had their graduate school education paid for while attending a college/university near the area where they work. I don't know if you can enter either program after completing undergrad. You may want to check with the State Department of Education for more information.
