Dentists eligible for federal loan repayment program

Dentists are now able to apply for the Health Resources and Services Administration's Faculty Loan Repayment Program. 

Under the program, the HRSA will repay up to $40,000 of student loan debt over two years in exchange for service at an eligible health professions school, the American Dental Association said May 25.

Eligible applicants must come from a disadvantaged background based on environmental and economic factors, have an eligible health professions degree or certificate and be a faculty member at an approved health professions school with a contract for two or more years.

The deadline to apply is June 30 at 7:30 p.m. ET.
