Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 20 004
The Nurse Faculty Loan Program (NFLP) is a federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). It is designed as a one-year, discretionary grant program focused on a specific workforce goal: increasing the supply of qualified nursing faculty. The underlying problem it addresses is that nursing programs often cannot expand enrollment or sustain capacity when they do not have enough faculty, which can ripple into broader nursing workforce shortages.
The way the program works is by funding accredited schools of nursing so they can provide loans to students who are enrolled in advanced education nursing degree programs and who intend to become nurse educators. In practical terms, the school receives grant support and uses it to operate a loan fund for eligible graduate-level nursing students preparing for faculty roles. The program is structured to encourage long-term entry into academic nursing by pairing financial support during training with a service commitment after graduation.
A key feature of the NFLP is its loan cancellation benefit tied directly to employment as nursing faculty. If a student graduates and then works full time as nurse faculty, the program authorizes cancellation of up to 85 percent of the loan amount, plus the interest on that loan. This service-linked cancellation is meant to make faculty careers more financially feasible, especially given that academic salaries can be lower than many clinical roles, and it creates a strong incentive for graduates to transition into teaching positions rather than leaving for other opportunities.
From the opportunity details provided, the funding opportunity title is "Nurse Faculty Loan Program (NFLP)" with opportunity number HRSA 20 004. The instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is health, listed under CFDA 93.264. The opportunity was created on November 14, 2019, with an original closing date of February 3, 2020. HRSA anticipated making about 90 awards. The listed award ceiling is shown as 0, which typically indicates the ceiling was not specified in the summary field and would normally be clarified in the full notice of funding opportunity or related program guidance.
Eligibility is summarized as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but the description makes clear that the direct recipients are accredited schools of nursing, since they are the entities that administer the student loan support. In effect, schools apply for the grant, and students benefit through the loan program the school operates under NFLP rules.Apply for HRSA 20 004
