Frequently asked questions

How do I find NHSC-approved FQHC jobs to apply to?

Browse the live FQHC postings on this page or filter by specialty and state. Most Federally Qualified Health Centers are NHSC-approved sites because they serve Health Professional Shortage Areas. After identifying a job that interests you, verify the specific facility's NHSC status using the HRSA NHSC Site Search before applying for loan repayment.

How can I tell if a specific job listing is NHSC-eligible?

Job postings on this site do not carry a verified NHSC-approved flag — eligibility is determined by the employer's site designation, which can change. The reliable check is to search HRSA's NHSC site database for the facility name once you have an employer in mind. You can also ask the recruiter directly during your first conversation; FQHC HR teams expect this question.

Do I apply to the NHSC program through my employer or separately?

Separately. You apply to the NHSC Loan Repayment Program directly through HRSA's BHW Portal during the annual application window (the 2026 deadline is March 31, 2026). The employer's only role is to confirm your employment at an NHSC-approved site and provide a signed offer letter or verification of employment.

Can I see a job's HPSA score before I apply?

Not on this site directly. HPSA scores are facility-level data published by HRSA. Once you identify a target FQHC, look up its HPSA score in the HRSA Data Warehouse (data.hrsa.gov). Higher scores (14+) historically have stronger NHSC funding success, so HPSA score is worth checking before committing to a multi-year service agreement.

How long does it take from job application to receiving NHSC loan repayment?

The two timelines run in parallel. After accepting a job offer, you submit your NHSC application by the annual March 31 deadline; awards are announced in late summer. Funds are then disbursed directly to your loan servicer over the two-year service period. Plan on roughly 6–9 months between application submission and the first disbursement.
