Fulbright Teacher’s Loan Forgiveness Act

This bill amends the Higher Education Act to include Fulbright Teacher Exchange Program and Fulbright English Teaching Assistant Program participation as qualifying public service employment for student loan forgiveness. It directly affects teachers who serve in these Fulbright programs, allowing them to count their service toward existing loan cancellation benefits under the public service repayment plan. The key provision adds a specific definition to the law, treating Fulbright teaching roles as equivalent to other public service jobs for loan forgiveness eligibility. This change expands access to an existing program without altering the core loan forgiveness mechanism. The bill does not create new benefits but makes Fulbright teaching service eligible under current rules.
