Alliance District Teacher Loan Subsidy Program

August 2, 2022

A teaching staff that mirrors the diversity of the student body it serves provides the best educational outcomes for our kids.

That is why I am pleased to share details on the Alliance District Teacher Loan Subsidy Program (ADTLS) that aims to increase recruitment of a diverse teaching staff in the alliance schools by allowing the refinancing of student loans at a lower interest rate.

When teachers refinance to a Connecticut Higher Education Supplemental Loan Authority (CHESLA) alliance district teacher loan, their interest rate will be reduced by a three-percentage point subsidy compared to the standard finance rate.

Below the photo is black text that reads, "Aiming to increase recruitment of a diverse teaching staff in the alliance schools by allowing the refinancing of student loans at a lower interest rate." The top half of the graphic is navy blue and the bottom half is white. There is an orange half crescent dividing the halves.

I am looking forward to the savings in the ADTLS having a positive effect on increasing recruitment and retention in our state's most vulnerable schools and encourage you to share this information for best possible reach.
