This grant, the Nurse Faculty Loan Program (NFLP), is designed to significantly increase the national supply of qualified nursing faculty. It provides vital funding to accredited schools of nursing, enabling them to establish and manage student loan funds. These loans are specifically offered to students pursuing advanced nursing degrees who are committed to becoming nurse faculty members. A key incentive of the program is the opportunity for substantial loan forgiveness: up to 85 percent of the original loan amount, plus interest, can be cancelled. This cancellation is contingent upon the completion of up to four years of full-time employment as a nurse faculty member in an accredited school of nursing post-graduation.
