Nursing Education Loan Repayment Program

• The Nursing Education Loan Repayment Program (NELRP) cycle will soon be begin for 2008. The 2007 cycle ended on March 9, 2007. This program offers registered nurses economic assistance to repay their educational loans in exchange for service to the underserved in certain healthcare facilities. All NELRP participants must enter into a contract agreeing to provide fulltime employment in an approved critical shortage facility for 2 years. In return, the NELRP will pay 60 percent of the participant's total qualifying loan balance for a 2 year commitment. A participant who agrees to serve 2 years may be eligible to amend the NELRP contract and work a third year in a critical shortage facility, for which the NELRP will pay an additional 25 percent of the qualifying loan balance.
