Description

The purpose of the Allied Health Loan-For-Service is to increase the number of physician assistants in areas of the state which have experienced shortages of health practitioners, by making educational loans to students seeking certification/licensure in an eligible health field. As a condition of each loan, the student shall declare his/her intent to practice as a health professional in a designated shortage area within the state of New Mexico. For every year of service provided in a designated shortage area within New Mexico, a portion of the loan will be forgiven. If the entire service agreement is fulfilled, 100% of the loan is eligible for forgiveness. Penalties will be assessed if the service agreement is not satisfied. The applicant must be a resident of New Mexico for 12 consecutive months and must meet all FAFSA & SAP requirements. The application opens every year on May 15th and closes on July 1st. The Allied Loan-For-Service Program Application will open May 15, 2022. The application and all documents must be submitted within one email in PDF format.
