State Loan Forgiveness Program Accepting Applications

Starting tomorrow, July 1st, the Primary Care Office will open up the next opportunity of funding for the Colorado Health Service Corps (CHSC). CHSC is the state's health professions loan repayment program, which provides funding to primary care physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, certified nurse midwives, licensed mental health professionals and oral health professionals who agree to practice in a rural or underserved area of our state. Applicants are eligible to receive up to $105,000 in loan forgiveness for a committment of two or three years of service. Eligible health professionals must be employed or seeking full-time employment in an outpatient practice in an area of Colorado with a health professional shortage.

For more information on the CHSC or to learn how to apply, please visit the CHSC website.
