The Wyoming Teacher Shortage Loan Repayment Program (TSLRP),
originally adapted by the 2005 Wyoming legislature, was amended by the 2010 Legislature
to continue until June 30, 2016. 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
