Opportunity Summary:
The Nurse Faculty Loan Program (NFLP) is a federal grant program run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). Its core goal is to address nursing faculty shortages by helping schools of nursing finance loans for graduate nursing students who are preparing to become educators. Rather than funding individual students directly, HRSA makes awards to accredited schools of nursing so they can establish and operate an NFLP loan fund and then lend that money to eligible students in advanced nursing degree tracks.
Under this opportunity, the federal government enters into an agreement with a school of nursing and provides grant funds that the institution must use specifically to create and manage a revolving loan fund. The school then issues loans to students enrolled in eligible advanced degree nursing programs at the masters or doctoral level, as long as those programs include education components designed to prepare the student to teach. The design is intentionally workforce-focused: the money supports training for future instructors, which in turn is meant to expand faculty capacity and ultimately increase the number of nurses the education system can graduate.
A major feature of the program is the loan cancellation (forgiveness) structure tied to service as nurse faculty. Students who receive NFLP loans must agree to complete their education program, and after graduation they can have up to 85 percent of their NFLP loan canceled if they serve as full-time nurse faculty at a school of nursing. In practical terms, the program uses a service commitment to convert most of the loan into a benefit when graduates step into faculty roles, directly reinforcing the program's purpose of building the educator pipeline.
Eligible applicants for this specific funding opportunity are accredited schools of nursing across multiple institutional types, including public, non-profit, and private institutions, including for-profit schools, as long as they offer an eligible advanced degree nursing education program (masters or doctoral) intended to prepare nurses to serve as faculty. This means the applicant is the nursing school as an institution, not an individual student or a healthcare employer. Because the funding is meant to support a loan fund, the institution is responsible for administering the loans according to program rules and ensuring the funds are used for students in the appropriate education-focused graduate pathways.
The opportunity is listed as a discretionary grant in the health funding category, with a cost-sharing or matching requirement (meaning the award is not purely federal dollars and the institution must contribute according to the program rules). The funding opportunity number is HRSA-10-142, and it is associated with CFDA number 93.264 (Nurse Faculty Loan Program). HRSA projected about 125 awards with an estimated total funding level of $16,000,000 for this cycle. The opportunity was posted on April 16, 2010, created on April 19, 2010, and had a closing date of May 5, 2010; the listing was later archived on July 4, 2010.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): Nurse Faculty Loan Program (NFLP) - HRSA-10-142
What is the Nurse Faculty Loan Program (NFLP)?
The Nurse Faculty Loan Program (NFLP) is a federal grant program run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). Its purpose is to address nursing faculty shortages by helping schools of nursing finance loans for graduate nursing students who are preparing to become educators.
Who receives the grant funding under this opportunity?
Grant awards are made to accredited schools of nursing (the institution), not to individual students. The school uses the federal funds to establish and operate an NFLP loan fund and then makes loans to eligible graduate nursing students.
Does the NFLP provide money directly to students?
No. HRSA provides grant funds to schools of nursing, and those schools then lend money to eligible students through the school-managed NFLP loan fund.

The core goal is to reduce nursing faculty shortages by supporting graduate nursing students who are preparing to teach. By strengthening the educator pipeline, the program is intended to expand faculty capacity and help the education system graduate more nurses over time.
How are the funds used by the school of nursing?
The institution must use the award to create and manage a revolving loan fund. The school administers the program and issues loans to eligible students enrolled in approved advanced degree nursing tracks that include education components designed to prepare them to become faculty.
What does it mean that the loan fund is a "revolving" fund?
Based on the description in the opportunity, the school is required to set up and operate a revolving loan fund, meaning the funds are used to make loans and are managed as an ongoing loan program under program rules.
What kinds of student programs are supported by NFLP loans?
Loans are for students enrolled in eligible advanced degree nursing programs at the masters or doctoral level, as long as the program includes education components intended to prepare the student to teach (i.e., to serve as nurse faculty).
Are undergraduate nursing students eligible for NFLP loans?
No. The opportunity description specifies eligible programs are at the masters or doctoral level and must include education components designed to prepare students to become educators.
What is the service-based loan cancellation feature?
Students who receive NFLP loans must agree to complete their education program. After graduation, they can have up to 85 percent of their NFLP loan canceled if they serve as full-time nurse faculty at a school of nursing.
How much of an NFLP loan can be canceled (forgiven)?
Up to 85 percent of the NFLP loan can be canceled, based on the graduate serving as full-time nurse faculty at a school of nursing after completing the program.

The opportunity ties loan cancellation to service as full-time nurse faculty at a school of nursing after graduation.
