Loan Repayment Program Database

Every federal and state student-loan-repayment program open to Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, CRNAs, Nurse-Midwives, and physicians — filterable by state, profession, and program type, with award amounts, deadlines, eligibility, and an official-source citation on every entry.

How to use this database

Loan-repayment eligibility is the single biggest lever on take-home value for an Advanced Practice Provider at a community health center — a full-time NHSC award is tax-free and can be worth tens of thousands of dollars a year on top of base pay. But the programs are scattered across a dozen federal and state agencies, each with its own award schedule, deadline, and profession rules that generalist finance sites routinely get wrong.

This database consolidates them into one maintained, cited source. Filter by state to see the programs available where you want to practice, by profession to hide programs you are not eligible for (CRNAs, for instance, cannot use the traditional NHSC LRP but can use several others), or by program type to separate nationwide federal programs from state loan-repayment programs (SLRPs). Every figure links to the authoritative government or program source so you can verify it before you apply.

Sources & freshness

Program facts are hand-curated from the primary sources — HRSA / NHSC, the Bureau of Health Workforce (Nurse Corps), the Indian Health Service, Federal Student Aid (PSLF), and each state's health department or primary care office — and re-verified against those sources on an annual cadence keyed to the federal fiscal-year guidance release. Every entry carries the date it was last checked and a direct link to its source.

Award amounts, deadlines, and eligibility change every year. Treat the figures here as accurate as of the “verified” date on each card, and confirm the current-year amount against the linked source before submitting an application. State SLRP awards are seeded conservatively; the linked state agency page is authoritative for the exact amount and application window.

Frequently asked questions

Which loan-repayment programs are open to CRNAs?

CRNAs are not eligible for the traditional NHSC Loan Repayment Program or Students to Service, but they do qualify for the NHSC Rural Community LRP, NHSC SUD LRP, the STAR LRP, the Nurse Corps Loan Repayment Program, and the Indian Health Service LRP. Use the profession filter set to "CRNA" to see every program a nurse anesthetist can apply to.

Do federal and state programs stack?

Federal service loan-repayment programs (NHSC, Nurse Corps, IHS) and most NHSC-affiliated state SLRPs count toward Public Service Loan Forgiveness simultaneously when you work full-time for a qualifying 501(c)(3) or public employer such as an FQHC — the 120 PSLF payments accrue while the service award pays down principal. Each entry notes whether it stacks with PSLF.

Are these award amounts current?

Award amounts, deadlines, and eligibility change on an annual cycle tied to each program’s notice of funding opportunity. Every entry carries a "verified" date and a link to the authoritative .gov/.org source; always confirm the current-year figure against that source before you apply.
