If you receive an award, you will get:

• Up to $40,000 in loan repayment assistance
• Funding to offset the tax burden

Why is the FLRP important?

We provide loan repayment assistance to faculty members from economically and environmentally disadvantaged backgrounds with eligible health professions degrees or certificates to serve at eligible academic institutions.
