Regarding the military deferment, COHEAO will hold an interactive teleconference on the subject, as well as on teacher loan cancellation issues on Thursday, August 24 from 2:00 to 3:30 pm, eastern time. You can register online at www.coheao.org or by mailing or faxing the attached registration form. Be sure to register today since pre-registration is necessary to participate in the teleconference.
