The PhD in Nursing program at UMass Chan Medical School is proud to provide the Nurse Faculty Loan Program. This loan program provides loans to students enrolled in advanced education nursing degree programs who are committed to becoming nurse faculty. In exchange for completing up to four years of post-graduation full-time nurse faculty employment in an accredited school of nursing, the program authorizes cancelation of up to 85 percent of any such student loan (plus interest thereon).

Please note that Post Graduate Certificates are generally not eligible for federal loan programs.
