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.
