Loan Forgiveness for Nurses: Applications Open

October 28, 2021
By Jenna Kellerman

The Minnesota Health Care Loan Forgiveness program cycle opens Nov. 1 and is accepting applications through Jan. 17, 2022. The Loan Forgiveness program is available for various health care professionals serving in high-need areas, including nurses in nursing homes, assisted living, and home care settings.

General program information for long-term care can be found on the MDH website. The page will be updated in November as the cycle opens.

Previous grants have included repayment for loans, tuition, and reasonable educational or living expenses for past graduate or undergraduate education. Individual applicants must apply (not organizations). Please encourage nurses in your organization to apply.

Contact Elizabeth Fenske, MDH program administrator at Elizabeth.Fenske@state.mn.us. Members can also contact Jenna Kellerman, Director of Workforce Solutions.
