NIFA Veterinary Medicine Loan Repayment Program

USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) recently announced the next phase of the Veterinary Medicine Loan Repayment Program. We are pleased that they are making progress on the program, and are confident that veterinarians will be participating in the Fall.

The announcement was to communicate the designated shortage areas(the underserved areas that were selected by USDA from the applicants received by the State Animal Health officials) and the Request for Applicants. Information about the program can be found at VMLRP. Information about the designated shortage areas can be found at VMLRP Designated Shortage Situations. Finally, application materials can be found at: http://www.nifa.usda.gov/nea/animals/in_focus/vmlrp/vmlrp_shortage_situation_usmap.html
