Educational Loan Repayment
The Fellowship Loan Repayment Program (FLRP) has been established as a benefit to all eligible fellows who complete the 2-year HIV Clinical Leadership Program. The FLRP offers up to a total of $150,000 ($50,000 per year for 3 years) of taxable (federal and state) payments to be applied towards educational debt. To receive the loan repayment, fellows must be employed in a position that commits at least 50% of salaried time to direct HIV clinical care or HIV-related health services research; the work must be focused on services for underserved communities. Eligibility will be determined by program leadership on an annual basis. Per IRS regulations, loan repayments are considered taxable. Payments will be disbursed by The Lundquist Institute directly to each eligible fellow. Details can be found in the HIV Clinical Leadership Program – Fellowship Loan Repayment Program (FLRP) policy.
