    Dear Association Executives - Below and attached from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), please find a Toolkit on the National Health Service Corps Loan Repayment Programs. Please feel free to share this with your members. Please let us know if you have questions.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The application cycle for three National Health Service Corps (NHSC) programs: the NHSC Loan Repayment Program (NHSC LRP), the NHSC Substance Use Disorder Workforce Loan Repayment Program (NHSC SUD Workforce LRP) and the NHSC Rural Community Loan Repayment Program (NHSC Rural Community LRP) is now open. The application closes on Thursday, May 6, 2021 at 7:30 p.m.

    This year, a historic $800 million increase in funding means we will be making more awards in a single year than ever before, and clinicians are encouraged to apply even if their organization's health professional shortage area (HPSA) score has not been competitive for awards in the past. Additionally, the NHSC Loan Repayment Program will dedicate $15 million for awards to clinicians working at Indian Health Service facilities, Tribally-Operated 638 Health Programs, and Urban Indian Health Programs.

    We need your help sharing this great news! Please use the attached Stakeholder Toolkit to share with your member audiences in your newsletters and on social media.

    Thank you, and please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions.

    Cheers,

    Amishi
