STAR Forgivable Loan

The Arkansas State Teacher Assistance Resource (STAR) provides forgivable loans to students pursuing an education degree leading to an initial teacher licensure. Recipients must teach in designated subject and/or geographical critical shortage areas in Arkansas public schools after completion of licensure requirements.

A student may be eligible for a STAR Forgivable Loan for a maximum of 2 years (if in a 4-year program) or 3 years (if in a 5-year program) or until licensure requirements are completed, whichever comes first. STAR funds are paid to the recipient's college or university for each term awarded.
