- Awards are available for full-time and part-time providers.
Public Service Loan Forgiveness
Do you still have student loans even after participating in Utah's loan repayment programs? Consider signing up for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program. You can have your student loans forgiven by serving at a non-profit or government agency for 10 years and making 120 payments to your student loans.

You can make an impact!
“Student loans are a mental weight from the time they are taken out until they are paid off. Despite the education being far worth the cost, they still influence every decision and cause stress at every life change. Knowing that I have help to pay them off has been a huge relief and motivated me to continue serving my patients while enjoying my job.”Ashley Jensen, Physician Assistant at Exodus Healthcare Network, and loan repayment recipient
