Health Professions Programs
Faculty
Loan Repayment Program (FLRP)
http://bhpr.hrsa.gov/dsa
|
FLRP provides
financial incentive for degree-trained health professionals to
pursue academic careers. Individuals selected to participate
agree to serve on the faculty of an accredited health
professions school for a minimum of two years. In return, the
Federal government agrees to pay, for each year of faculty
service, up to $20,000 of the outstanding principal and
interest on the participant's educational loans.
FLRP awards are
paid directly to the individual and are considered taxable
income by the Internal Revenue Service. To offset this tax
liability, FLRP makes additional payments equaling 39 percent
of the Federal loan repayment award.

This
program is not included in the President's budget for
2004. Potential applicants for funds should consider
this announcement provisional until final
Congressional action is taken. Updated information
will be available on the HRSA
website.
