The 2020 Application Program and Guidance for the National Health Service Corps Students to Service Loan Repayment Program (NHSC S2S LRP) is now open. The application cycle closes on October 31 at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Applicants to the NHSC S2S LRP may qualify for up to $120,000 in tax-free loan repayment for their medical and dental school student loans. Eligible health professional students in their final year of school receive the award in exchange for a three-year service commitment in a high-need – defined as HPSA 14 or above – underserved community.

NHSC S2S LRP scholars receive award installments annually in a lump sum, which can significantly lower medical school debt by reducing the amount of interest they owe on their loans over time.

With continued service through the NHSC Loan Repayment Program, scholars can potentially pay off all of their educational debt.

We recommend potential applicants use our online career finder tool, the Health Workforce Connector, to search for and locate more information on sites that meet the service HPSA criteria. Thank you for your support in promoting this opportunity to eligible health professional students.
