Accepting applications through March 28

The Nurse Corps Loan Repayment Program supports registered nurses (RNs), advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs), and nurse faculty by paying up to 85 percent of their unpaid nursing education debt.
In exchange, participants serve for at least two years at a health care facility with a critical shortage of nurses or, for nurse faculty, at an eligible school of nursing.
Before you apply, learn about application details including eligibility and service requirements in the 2019 Application and Program Guidance.
New in 2019!
The Nurse Corps anticipates making up to 10 percent of loan repayment awards to psychiatric nurse practitioners, highly skilled specialists who are on the front lines helping combat the nation’s opioid crisis.

Eligible applicants include:
  • licensed registered nurses;
  • advanced practice registered nurses, including psychiatric nurse practitioners; or
  • nurse faculty members with qualifying nursing debt.
