The Forgivable Loan Program provides financial assistance to graduate students.
The purpose of the program is to increase the pool of individuals with the
qualifications, motivation, and skills to teach the diverse student body in the
California State University by providing financial assistance to doctoral
students who show promise of becoming strong candidates for CSU instructional
faculty positions. It is a competitive program directed by the California State
University but open to doctoral students across the country.
Through the
Forgivable Loan Program, the California State University offers loans and
faculty sponsorship to full-time students pursuing doctoral degrees who are
interested in a teaching career at a CSU campus, specifically, the program
provides:
- Loan of up to $10,000 per year up to a total of $30,000 over a five-year
period.
- Loan forgiveness: twenty percent of the loan is forgiven each year of
full-time postdoctoral teaching at a CSU campus.
- Faculty advising from a CSU faculty member.
The California State
University is committed to the principal that maintaining the excellence of its
faculty requires increasing its diversity. The CSU does not guarantee a faculty
position to any participant in the Forgivable Loan Program. However, it is
expected that upon completion of their doctoral studies, participants will be
qualified to compete for CSU faculty positions.
Eligibility
The Forgivable Loan
Program is open to applicants who will be new or continuing full-time students
in doctoral programs at accredited universities anywhere in the United States.
Applicants are not required to have attended the CSU nor to be accepted
in a doctoral program at the time of their application. Employment in the
California State University is also not required.
Faculty Advisor
Key to the
success of the Forgivable Loan Program is the faculty advisor, a full-time
tenured/tenure-track CSU faculty member. Each applicant must have a CSU faculty
advisor. The advisor provides consultation and assistance to the candidate to
enhance his/her academic experience and relationship to the California State
University. Specifically, the advisor:
- Advises and supports the candidate throughout his/her doctoral study.
- Serves to link the candidate to the CSU and its academic departments.
- Recommends the candidate for teaching positions in the CSU.
It is
recommended that the faculty advisor and student be in the same discipline,
though it is not required.
