Loan Forgiveness for School SLPs and Audiologists? Add Your Voice!
Submitted by SLP_Admin on Sat, 01/10/2009 - 22:49
Contact your Reps! |
You can encourage funding of Title IV, Section 428k of the Higher Education and Opportunity Act which would offer $2,000 in student-loan forgiveness for each year of service a school-based speech-language pathologist (SLP) or audiologist spends in a high-need school for up to five years of service.
Contact your U.S. Senator and Representative and ask them to include funding for loan forgiveness for SLPs and Audiologist in the FY 2010 federal budget.
Go to http://capwiz.com/asha2/issues/alert/?alertid=12030701&type=CO and use the form ASHA provides to add your voice to this effort.
This would be a major victory in aiding school-based SLPs and audiologists – attracting more personnel to the professions and providing much-needed support to low-income children in need. Please take action today!
Other legislative issues are just a click away by going to Legislative Alerts under Resources on SLP's In Touch Website, left-side menu.
