The programme is co-financed (government, church and private funds and own resources of the recipients of the benefits) and significantly contributes to the economic, social and cultural development of the southern countries.

The purpose of this Operations Memo is to provide an update on the status of the California Student Aid Commission’s (Commission) Assumption Program of Loans for Education (APLE). APLE is a state-funded, competitive teacher incentive program designed to encourage outstanding students to become teachers and serve in areas within California where there is an identified critical teacher shortage.

Student are advised that the Assumption Program of Loans for Education (APLE), a State program designed for students who are entering the teaching profession, enables students who are enrolled in a program leading to an initial teaching credential, to have educational loans assumed by the California Student Aid Commission.

APLE participants who teach in mathematics, science, or special education in California public schools ranked in the lowest 60 percentile of API, may receive both the basic $11,000 and up to $1,000 of additional loan assumption during each of four years. Another $1,000 of benefits may be received in each of the four years by individuals teaching mathematics, science or special education in a school ranked in the lowest 20 percentile of the State’s API, resulting in a maximum of $19,000 in loan assumption benefits.

If you have received an educational loan, and plan to teach in a shortage field and/or in a school that qualifies as a result of serving high need populations, you are encouraged to apply.
