Nurse Faculty Service Cancelable Program

The program was developed by the Health Care Workforce Policy Advisory Committee and is funded by the Georgia Department of Labor and the Robert W. Woodruff Foundation. The Georgia Student Finance Authority (GSFA) manages this unique graduate education service cancelable loan program designed to encourage Georgians to enter — and remain in — the nursing education profession. The Georgia Nursing Faculty Scholarship Program offers financing in three core nursing education tracks: Baccalaureate to Master's, Master's to Doctorate, and Post Master's Nursing Education Certification.

Value

A maximum of $10,000 may be awarded to a loan recipient pursuing a Doctoral or Masters Degree. A maximum of $5,000.00 may be awarded to a loan recipient enrolled in a Post Masters program not leading to a Doctoral Degree. Semester awards will be based on the number of credit hours in which a loan recipient is enrolled each semester. The award per semester is $2,500.00 for a student enrolled for 9 hours or less, and $3,333.00 for a student enrolled for more than 9 hours.

Eligibility Requirements

Be a nurse registered and in good standing with the state board that licenses nursing in the State of Georgia.
Be admitted into a graduate school of nursing in an educational institution in the State of Georgia. The educational institution must be qualified to prepare the loan recipient to be employed as a member of nursing faculty at an educational institution whose students will qualify to be a licensed Practical Nurse ("LPN") or can receive an Associates Degree or Bachelor's Degree in Nursing.
Be admitted fully into the Educational Program. Provisional or conditional acceptance will not qualify a student to be a loan recipient.
Not obligated to make a refund on a grant, scholarship or loan previously received under any State of Georgia or Federal program for attendance at any postsecondary educational institution; and
Not be in default or obligated to pay a balance on a previously defaulted student loan obtained under any State of Georgia or Federal Program for attendance at any postsecondary educational institution.

Service Commitment

A loan recipient may repay the loan through teaching in a nursing program leading to a certificate or degree in nursing at an educational institution whose graduates will be qualified to practice nursing in the State of Georgia.

If the loan recipient fails to complete their program, fails to obtain the required credentials, or fails to repay the loan through teaching, the loan recipient will be required to repay the loan in cash. Interest will be applied to the outstanding balance.
