The ABN has begun accepting applications for the Loan Repayment Program for Advanced Practice Nursing; applications will be accepted until
11:59 p.m. on September 7. The program, which offers loans of up to $15,000.00 in exchange for a commitment to work for 18 months per year of loans received in an Area of Critical Need in Alabama, is available to current advanced practice nursing students and currently-approved CRNPs, CNMs, and CRNAs who graduated within the past five years. An Area of Critical Need is presently defined by the Board as any area of the state that is not within five (5) miles of an area identified by the US Census Bureau as “urbanized.”
Should you decide to apply for a loan under the Program, please take care to be as thorough as possible when you apply. Incomplete applications will not be considered.
Further information, including laws governing the program, the loan application, and the map of eligible areas, is available in the
Advanced Practice Loan Repayment Program section on the ABN website. Please feel free to direct questions or concerns to
loanrepaymentprogram@abn.alabama.gov.
