Nebraska Loan Repayment Program for Rural Health Professionals offers loan repayment assistance to certain healthcare professionals who agree to practice between 2-4 years in a state-designated shortage area of Nebraska.
To be eligible students must have be fully licensed and finished with residency by the start date of the loan repayment contract.
Eligible specialties, areas, and facilities may be found on the program website.
- $180,000 - $200,000 for doctors and dentists
- $90,000 - $100,000 for other professions
The local entity must agree to provide a 50% match per year.
The actual amount awarded will depend on the health practitioner's student loans, the local entity's local match, and the availability of state funds.
The contract period is 3 years for one program, and 2 years with a possible 1-2 year extension for the other.
A link to the online application is available on the program website.
