Grants to Minnesota licensed healthcare workers to repay educational loans. Funding is intended to improve access to medical care in the most underserved areas of the State. Eligible professions include pharmacists, doctors, mental health professionals, nurses, dentists, and more.
The MN SLRP provides funds for repayment of qualifying educational loans for primary care providers. In return for the loan repayment award, participants must complete a two-year service obligation in nonprofit private or public sites located in federally designated Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs).
Qualifying educational loans are government and commercial loans for actual costs paid for tuition, reasonable education expenses, and reasonable living expenses relating to the graduate or undergraduate education of a primary care provider. Awards are paid by the State of Minnesota directly to the participant, who must then apply the award immediately to the eligible outstanding debt. Loan repayment awards under this program have been exempted as taxable income under federal and Minnesota state law.

The MN SLRP provides funds for repayment of qualifying educational loans of up to $20,000 annually for full–time primary care providers and up to $10,000 annually for half–time primary care providers.
Minimum Service Obligation: 2 years
