The National Health Service Corps (NHSC) offers loan repayment assistance to support qualified health care providers who choose to take their skills where they’re most needed.
The NHSC Loan Repayment Program: This program is open to licensed primary care medical, dental, and mental and behavioral health providers who are employed or have accepted an offer of employment at an NHSC-approved site and will begin working by July 15, 2015. Awardees receive up to $50,000 in exchange for two-years of service if they practice in a Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA) of 14 and above (Tier I). Awardees can also receive up to $30,000 in exchange for two-years of service if they practice in a HPSA of 13 and below. In FY2013, all of the NHSC’s loan repayment awards were made to providers located in a Tier 1 HPSA.
