Record number of teachers benefit from loan repayment program
SANTA FE – Starting June 1, New Mexico teachers can apply for up to $6,000 a year in student loan assistance through the state's Teacher Loan Repayment Program.
The program received a record number of applications last year, helping more than 800 New Mexico teachers, and this year Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham backed a $5 million funding increase to support even more educators.
"The state's Teacher Loan Repayment Program works to alleviate the financial burden of student loan debt, allowing teachers to focus on what is most important – educating our children," said Higher Education Secretary Stephanie M. Rodriguez. "New Mexico is committed to helping educators by providing them with the support and respect they deserve as they teach the next generation of New Mexicans."

Brantley, who represents dozens of rural communities across Senate District 35, has consistently championed youth development, agriculture education, and career and technical training programs during her time in the Senate.
