Student Loan Reduction

KC teachers can save 50% and more through our partnership with Student Debt Solutions

Most educators pay over $600
a month on student loans. We help them cut payments in half.

The average student loan carried by teachers is $36,000. For teachers of color, the amount nearly doubles.

Through our partnership with Student Debt Solutions(SDS), teachers can talk to an expert to find options to reduce their monthly payments and debt with federal urban educator loan forgiveness programs. Federal requirements change weekly and the experts at SDS keep up on them, providing the very latest guidance.

Lincoln High School teacher,
Ms Reyes, lowered her monthly payments by $900.

“I had loan payments of $1100 a month and after using this service, they were reduced to under $200! The website is super easy to use and I can check in with a live expert to guide me through the process. I also learned that if I continue teaching in urban schools, most of my loan will be forgiven!"


This offer covers:

  • All educators, all types of schools

  • Student loans for children or spouses/partners

  • Graduate student loans

  • Loan Forgiveness programs

  • SAVE loan participants

Why now?

The Sherman Family Foundation has made this service FREE (a $200 value) to all KCPS staff.

You need your latest tax return and your students loan documents.

That’s it!

Because of a generous grant from the Sherman Family Foundation, the service is provided for FREE to KCPS Educators.
