you CAN get your perkins loan forgiven if you teach in a district with a given amount of disadvantaged students.  this was told to me by a man in our finacial aid office.  check out the link it is very detailed and specific.  i plan on possibly going to Detroit to teach b/c they are offering HUUUUUUUGGGGGE incentives especially for those getting certified in critical shortage areas (ie math, science)

Yes, I heard that your Perkins Loans can be forgiven, through Teach For America or otherwise. But, I'm not 100% sure. Once again, it varies. Also, I am looking at Detroit as well...it's my hometown; yes, they 
are offering great incentives  

; and I would love the opportunity to be an educator in the community in which I grew up.
