Faculty Loan Repayment Program (FLRP)
FLRP provides financial incentive for degree-trained health professionals to pursue academic careers. Individuals selected to participate agree to serve on the faculty of an accredited health professions school for a minimum of two years. In return, the Federal government agrees to pay, for each year of faculty service, up to $20,000 of the outstanding principal and interest on the participant's educational loans. FLRP awards are paid directly to the individual and are considered taxable income by the Internal Revenue Service. To offset this tax liability, FLRP makes additional payments equaling 39% of the Federal loan repayment award.
