Tell a Colleague – The Faculty Loan Repayment Program Is Accepting Applications!
Please help spread the word that the Faculty Loan Repayment Program (FLRP) through the National Health Service Corps (NHSC), application cycle is now open. FLRP supports careers for health profession educators who are vital to preparing the next generation of healthcare professionals.
The FLRP will provide a lump sum, up to $40,000, for a two-year service commitment. In addition, FLRP requires a funding match from the applicant’s health professions school, which helps program participants further reduce their educational debt.
FLRP participants who have additional qualifying loans once their service commitment is complete may re-apply for another two-year contract in exchange for additional years of service.
The financial assistance offered through FLRP decreases the economic barriers associated with pursuing a career as an educator preparing the next generation of health professionals. Visit the FLRP webpage for additional information about applying.
