Nursing Education Loan Repayment Program

• The Nursing Education Loan Repayment Program (NELRP) cycle will soon be begin for 2006. The 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.
  
  The FY 2006 NELRP application cycle closes on April 2006. Please visit online at http://bhpr.hrsa.gov/nursing/loanrepay.htm (application available January 2006) or call toll free 1-877-464-4772 for more information.
