 TITLE: What Is Teacher Loan Forgiveness?

The chief administrative officer at your school or educational service agency will certify on the application that you've met the requirements.\nIf you have Perkins loans, they're administered by colleges and universities themselves instead of the Department of Education. So you'll need to contact the school where you received the student loan to process your application. END
