California State Loan Repayment Program
The California State Loan Repayment Program (CA-SLRP) assists primary care physicians, dentists, dental hygienists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, certified nurse midwives, pharmacists, and mental/behavioral health providers with the repayment of educational loans in exchange for working at an eligible site. Eligible practice sites must be located in a Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA) and agree to match SLRP awards. The application cycle opens on July 15, 2026, and closes on September 15, 2026.
