Help for People Working in Healthcare

National Health Service Corps. Doctors, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, dentists, dental hygienists and mental health professionals including psychologists, social workers, and marriage and family therapists can wipe out a big chunk of their education debt by choosing to work for two years in an underserved community.


In exchange for two years of full-time employment, up to $25,000 in student loans will be repaid each year. Further loan repayment is available if you choose to serve beyond the two-year contract. One-year amendments are available with up to $35,000 available in loan repayments.


Healthcare professionals with extra-heavy student debt burdens could pay down as much as $50,000 in loan debt in just two years and as much as $85,000 of loan debt in three years. Talk about a great opportunity.
