The NHSC SUD Loan Repayment Program offers fully trained and licensed SUD providers the opportunity to receive financial assistance to repay their qualifying educational loans in exchange for service in a NHSC SUD treatment facility within a HPSA. The Rural Community (RC) Loan Repayment Program offers fully trained and licensed SUD providers the opportunity to receive financial assistance to repay their qualifying educational loans in exchange for service in a NHSC Rural SUD treatment facility within a HPSA.
