HRSA Nursing Education Loan Repayment Program for Nurse Faculty Application Available

Application Deadline: 5 pm ET, June 15, 2010

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 amended the Nursing Education Loan Repayment Program (NELRP) to extend loan repayment to nurse faculty. Up to twenty percent of NELRP funds will be made available to nurse faculty. The program offers nurse faculty substantial economic assistance to repay a portion of their qualifying educational loans in exchange for service as a full-time nurse faculty member at an eligible school of nursing. The purpose of NELRP-NF is to assist in the recruitment and retention of nurse faculty at accredited schools of nursing, by decreasing economic barriers that may be associated with pursuing a career in academic nursing.
