2010 Faculty Loan Repayment Program Application Cycle

The Health Resources and Services Administration announced the opening of the FY 2010 Faculty Loan Repayment Program Application Cycle on March 16, 2010. Applications will be accepted until 5 PM ET APRIL 22. If you know of a faculty member who is from a disadvantaged background, please forward this message.

The Faculty Loan Repayment Program is open to faculty members who are health professionals from disadvantaged backgrounds. Individuals selected to participate in the program agree to serve on the faculty of an accredited health professions institution (college or university) for a minimum of two years. In exchange for that service, the Government pays up to $40,000 of the faculty’s student loans.

Please note this program, while open to individual nurse faculty, is not the Nurse Faculty Loan Program to which schools apply.
