The Enhancing Excellence in Teaching Program (EETP) from the Nebraska Department of Education provides forgivable loans to Nebraska teachers enrolled in an eligible graduate program at an eligible Nebraska institution. This current application is for courses that are held between July 1, 2019, and June 30, 2020.
Eligible students may apply, on an annual basis, for an EETP loan in an amount of up to $175 per credit hour, or a maximum of $3,000, for coursework that has been identified by the institution as part of the student’s graduate program. In return for receiving an EETP loan, the student agrees to complete the graduate program that s/he is currently enrolled in and maintain full-time employment in an accredited or approved public or private school in Nebraska. If the student meets the loan forgiveness obligations, beginning after the first two years of full-time teaching, loans will be forgiven pursuant to the individuals’ signed contract.
UNL's MAT (mathematics) and MA (TLTE) are both eligible graduate programs, but you must have been admitted to those programs when you apply for EETP.
