Teacher Shortage Loan Repayment Program

The Wyoming Teacher Shortage Loan Repayment Program (TSLRP) was adopted by the 2005 Wyoming legislature. The goal of the program is to provide loans to students who will stay in Wyoming after graduation and work as teachers.

The legislature provided funds to be used for students who are at least juniors at the University of Wyoming in the teacher education program leading to certification in special education, mathematics or science. The funds are to assist with educational expenses as determined by the University of Wyoming Office of Student Financial Aid. Completion of the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is necessary for consideration for the Wyoming Teacher Shortage Loan Program.

What should you do to be considered for a TSLRP loan?
The most important steps to take are these:

•Submit the application form.

•Begin the process of applying for federal financial aid at UW as soon as possible.

•Submit the application by the last Friday in April.
