The Kansas State Loan Repayment Program (SLRP) offers eligible health professionals an opportunity to receive assistance with the repayment of their qualified educational loans in exchange for a minimum 2-year commitment to provide healthcare services at an eligible site in a federally designated Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA).
To be eligible for an award, health professionals must be a U.S. citizen or U.S. national, have a current permanent license, and commit to provide healthcare services at a public or nonprofit private entity located in a federally designated HPSA. The practice site is required to maintain an open door to all residents, regardless of their pay source or ability to pay.
A complete list of eligible healthcare professionals and award amounts by year is available on the eligible professions tab on the program website.
Physicians and dentists are eligible to receive up to $25,000 annually for repayment of outstanding educational debt. All other eligible health professionals may receive up to $20,000 annually.
Links to additional guidance, application instructions, the application, and other forms are all available on the program website.
