About the Program: S2S LRP provides up to $120,000 in tax-free student loan repayment to medical (MD and DO) or dental (DDS or DMD) students in their final year of school.
- You commit to provide primary health care at an approved NHSC site in a Health Professional Shortage Area of greatest need after graduating.
