Opportunity Summary:
The Nurse Faculty Loan Program (NFLP) is a federal grant opportunity from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) designed to help schools of nursing expand the pipeline of qualified nurse faculty. The program does this by awarding grant funds to eligible nursing schools so they can establish and operate a dedicated, interest-bearing loan fund specifically for students pursuing graduate nursing education. Rather than providing money directly to individual students, HRSA funds the institution, and the institution then makes loans from its NFLP fund to registered nurses who are completing advanced degrees that prepare them to teach in nursing programs.
A central feature of the NFLP is its built-in incentive to move graduates into faculty roles: borrowers may receive partial loan forgiveness if they complete their graduate program and then work as full-time nursing faculty for a required period of time. In practice, that means the program is meant to reduce the financial barrier that often prevents experienced nurses from pursuing graduate education and entering academic teaching positions, which in turn helps address nursing faculty shortages and supports the training of future nurses.
This opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-11-045; CFDA 93.264) is categorized as a discretionary grant in the health area. HRSA anticipated making about 98 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $24,539,725. The grant includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning participating schools are expected to contribute toward the program in addition to federal funds, consistent with the detailed requirements in the full funding opportunity announcement.
Eligibility is limited to accredited public or private collegiate schools of nursing located in the United States or its territories. To qualify, the school must offer a masters and/or doctoral degree program in nursing that includes an education component specifically designed to prepare graduate students to serve as faculty in a school of nursing. In other words, the academic program supported by the loans must be oriented toward teaching and faculty preparation, not solely clinical advanced practice preparation.
Key dates for this particular posting show it was made available on January 26, 2011, with an application deadline of February 25, 2011, and it was later archived on April 26, 2011. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV) and the listed phone numbers, and additional details were provided through the HRSA grants link included in the announcement.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): Nurse Faculty Loan Program (NFLP)
What is the Nurse Faculty Loan Program (NFLP)?
The Nurse Faculty Loan Program (NFLP) is a federal grant opportunity administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). It is designed to help schools of nursing expand the pipeline of qualified nurse faculty by supporting graduate nursing education that prepares registered nurses to teach in nursing programs.
Who receives the grant funds under the NFLP?
HRSA awards grant funds to eligible nursing schools (institutions), not directly to individual students. The participating school establishes and operates a dedicated, interest-bearing loan fund and then makes loans to eligible graduate nursing students from that institutional NFLP fund.
How does the NFLP support students if the money goes to schools?
The school uses its NFLP-funded loan fund to provide loans to registered nurses who are completing advanced nursing degrees that prepare them for faculty roles. The federal support is therefore indirect: it strengthens the school-run loan program that students borrow from.
What is the purpose of creating a dedicated loan fund?
The program funds schools so they can establish and operate a dedicated, interest-bearing loan fund specifically for students pursuing graduate nursing education oriented toward faculty preparation. This structure is intended to reduce financial barriers for nurses pursuing graduate education that leads to academic teaching roles.
What is the main workforce problem the NFLP is trying to address?
The NFLP is intended to help address nursing faculty shortages. By supporting graduate education that prepares nurses to teach, the program aims to increase the number of qualified faculty and strengthen the training capacity for future nurses.
Does the NFLP include loan forgiveness?
Yes. A central feature of the NFLP is an incentive for graduates to become faculty: borrowers may receive partial loan forgiveness if they complete their graduate program and then work as full-time nursing faculty for a required period of time.
What must a borrower do to potentially qualify for loan forgiveness?
Based on the description provided, the borrower must (1) complete the graduate nursing program and (2) work as full-time nursing faculty for the required period of time to be eligible for partial loan forgiveness.
Is this opportunity a grant, a loan, or both?
