Nurse Faculty Loan Program

Moffett & Sanders School of Nursing is the largest recipient in the country of a grant from the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration called the Nurse Faculty Loan Program, which enables us to award loans to graduate nursing students that can be forgiven up to 85%. In exchange, you commit to serving four years of postgraduate service in a nurse educator role, which includes being an advanced practice registered nurse preceptor or a full-time faculty member.

With a less than 1% default rate, this loan forgiveness program has empowered numerous graduates to pursue their advanced degree at a low cost to them.

*For joint nursing faculty appointment designation, recipients are encouraged to negotiate a contract/position with an accredited school of nursing prior to precepting students.
