North Carolina Mental Health Provider Loan Repayment Deadline Approaching

From North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services:

North Carolina’s State Loan Repayment Program (SLRP) application cycle is now open. This program helps mental health providers provide primary and psychiatric care to people in rural and underserved areas. Based on the amount of relevant educational loans, hours worked per week, and working at an integrated care site, SLRP offers educational loan repayment awards up to $50,000.00. The awards are granted in exchange for a three-year service commitment in a team-based setting that provides access to comprehensive behavioral health services to rural communities with a Health Professional Shortage Area score of 15 or above; i.e., an integrated primary/behavioral health care setting. Applications are due June 30, 2023.
