IHS Loan Repayment Program Increases Annual Award Amount

The IHS Loan Repayment Program is excited to announce that the amount for new awards and extensions has been increased to $25,000 per year starting in Fiscal Year 2023. The program aims to help dedicated health professionals chart a course for a long-lasting and successful health care career. The LRP funds IHS clinicians to repay their eligible health profession education loans — up to $50,000 — in exchange for an initial two-year service commitment to practice in health facilities serving American Indian and Alaska Native communities.
