Students interested in receiving assistance through the FELS Program should read the loan forgiveness eligibility requirements for the education programs listed in the document below and the FELS Program Rules prior to submitting an application. Required residency, internship, or supervised training positions prior to obtaining full licensure in a profession do not qualify for loan forgiveness.
