Health Professional Loans Coming Soon

海角论坛 offers alternative loan options for Disadvantaged Students (LDS Program) or for those passionate about Primary Care (PCL Program.) These loans have a fixed interest rate and do not accrue interest during school. They also have a longer Grace Period upon graduation of 12 months.

For the Primary Care Loan, students MUST go into an approved Primary Care specialty or will face high-interest rate penalties. Please only consider applying if you are passionate about primary care.

Approved specialties as defined by HRSA are Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Combined Medicine/Pediatrics, Preventative Medicine, and General Practice. (OB/GYN is NOT approved)

Application Process: Applications open this year on April 15th and are due May 15th. You can read more and apply at the 海角论坛 Financial Aid site and use the Secure Document Uploader to submit your application. You must include parental information on a separate form that will be included with the application due to loan policies.
