Careers in Health Care

Are you interested in a career in Health Care? If so, a service cancelable loan may be a great option for you.

The Georgia Student Finance Commission offers several service cancelable Health Care Programs, also referred to as "Scholarship Loans". Students can borrow funds to attend school for Dentistry, Nurse Anesthesia, Department of Human Resources employees for Nursing, Ladders to Nursing Careers, Graduate School awards for Nursing, Gerontology, Service Cancelable loans in health related careers, Registered Nurse programs, and numerous other health related fields.

Service cancelable repayment requirements vary with each program listed. In the event you do not complete your program of study or do not work in the field you were awarded, your scholarship loan will convert to a cash repayment loan and accrue interest and must be repayed in cash installments. Make sure to read the details of the program you are interested to ensure that you understand the requirements and your obligations.
