Nurse Corps Loan Repayment Program Accepting Applications!

Are you a licensed registred nurse, nurse practitioner, or nurse faculty member? You may qualify for loan repayment!

Why should you apply?

Too many Americans—particularly in underserved areas—go without checkups, preventive screenings, vaccines, and other care, simply because there are not enough health care professionals to provide care and treatment in their communities. The NURSE Corps Loan Repayment Program enables you to fulfill your passion to care for underserved people in some of the neediest communities across the country. If you apply and are accepted to the program, this program will pay for 60% of your unpaid nursing education debt over two years, with an option to extend to a third year for an additional 25% of the original balance. In exchange, you work for a minimum of two years in one of the thousands of Critical Shortage Facilities across the country, including hospitals, clinics, and other facilities experiencing a critical shortage of nurses.

Applications are due February 23rd, so apply now!
