Loan Repayment

  • National Health Service Corps Loan Repayment Program

    This program provides $50,000 (or the outstanding balance of qualifying student loans if it is less than $50,000), tax free, to primary care medical, dental and mental health clinicians in exchange for two years of service at an approved site in a Health Professional Shortage Area. Upon completion of the service commitment, clinicians may be eligible to apply for additional support for extended service. Applications will be accepted continuously until funds are expended or July 29, 2010, whichever comes first.

    Part-time clinicians can now receive up to $50,000 in loan repayment in exchange for a four-year service commitment.
