Nebraska LB408 establishes a forgivable loan program for special education teachers to help cover tuition costs.

Nebraska LB408, the Special Education Teacher Forgivable Loan Program Act, creates a program to provide forgivable loans to students in Nebraska pursuing special education teacher certification. The program, administered by the State Department of Education, offers loans to eligible students enrolled in accredited institutions within the state. To qualify, students must commit to teaching special education in Nebraska for five consecutive years post-graduation. If they fulfill this commitment, the state forgives the loans.
