The National Health Service Corps (NHSC) loan repayment program provides loan repayment awards to students pursuing a degree in allopathic medicine, osteopathic medicine, physician assistant studies, nursing, or dentistry. In exchange for loan repayment, individuals agree to provide primary health services in Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs) of greatest need. The NHSC seeks applicants who demonstrate the characteristics of a health professional student who has an interest in serving the nation’s medically underserved populations and remaining in a HPSA beyond their service commitment. The National Health Service Corps loan repayment program deadline for applications has been extended to December 2, 2021. Visit HRSA website for more information.
