HRSA Student Loan Repayment Opportunities

One of the significant advantages of practicing at a community health center is the potential opportunity to receive federal student loan repayment assistance through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) National Health Service Corps (NHSC) Loan Repayment Program.

This federal program is designed to help healthcare professionals repay qualifying educational loans in exchange for providing care in underserved communities.

Eligible Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants may qualify for:

  • Up to $75,000 in student loan repayment for eligible primary care providers completing a two-year, full-time service commitment.
  • Up to $37,500 for eligible half-time service commitments.
  • Potential additional award opportunities for eligible Spanish-speaking providers.

Loan repayment funds are awarded directly through the federal program and are separate from your compensation at Kinston Health.

Important: Participation is not automatic or guaranteed. Applicants must independently meet HRSA eligibility requirements, apply for the program, and receive an award. Eligibility also depends on the approved status and designation of the service site.

Who Should Apply?

We Encourage Applications From

  • Recent graduates of accredited Nurse Practitioner programs.
  • Recent graduates of accredited Physician Assistant programs.
  • Candidates preparing to obtain their North Carolina APRN or PA licensure.
