National Health Service Corps Loan Repayment Program (NHSC LRP)

The National Health Service Corps (NHSC) Loan Repayment Program (LRP) offers primary medical, dental, and mental and behavioral health care clinicians the opportunity to have their student loans repaid, while earning a competitive salary, in exchange for providing health care in urban, rural, or tribal communities with limited access to care.

Amount Awarded

  • Full-time service: Up to $50,000 for 2 years
  • Half-time service: Up to $25,000 for 2 years

Once the initial two-year service contract is completed, recipients may be eligible to apply for additional loan repayment funds to pay remaining educational loans through one-year continuation service contracts.
