National Institutes of Health (NIH) Loan Repayment Programs
Did you know that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will help pay back your student loans?
We shared an in-depth overview of the NIH Loan Repayment Program from the Division of Loan Repayment Director, Matthew Lockhart. The NIH Loan Repayment Programs (LRPs) are a set of programs established by Congress designed to recruit and retain highly qualified health professionals into biomedical or biobehavioral research centers. The NIH LRPs pay up to $50,000 annually of qualified educational debt in return for a commitment to engage in NIH mission-relevant research.
Applicants must hold an M.D., Ph.D., Psy.D., Pharm.D., D.O., D.D.S., D.M.D., D.P.M, D.C., N.D., O.D., D.V.M., or equivalent doctoral-level degree (except for the Contraception & Infertility Research LRP). The NIH LRPs will accept applications from September 1 - November 16. Check out these resources to learn how you could receive up to $100,000 in educational debt relief!
