The USDA’s Veterinary Medicine Loan Repayment Program (VMLRP), authorized by the National Veterinary Medical Services Act (NVMSA), helps qualified veterinarians offset a significant portion of the debt incurred in pursuit of their veterinary medicine degrees in return for their service in certain high-priority veterinary shortage areas. The National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) may repay up to $25,000 of a veterinarian’s debt per year. Loan repayment benefits are limited to payments of the principal and interest on government and commercial loans received for attendance at an American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA)-accredited college of veterinary medicine resulting in a degree of Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) or the equivalent. A veterinarian who receives a VMLRP award must agree to provide veterinary services in a specific veterinary shortage area for at least three years.
NIFA solicited veterinary shortage area nominations from State Animal Health Officials (SAHO) with a deadline of February 11, 2015. Out of 186 nominations submitted by SAHOs across the country, the review panel recommended 184 nominations to be designated as shortage situations. Of the 184 nominations that received designation, 74 were new nominations and 110 were unfilled FY 2014 nominations, re-submitted with no changes.
NIFA rolled out its Request for Applications (RFA) for the VMLRP
on May 6, 2015. The application period remained open until the
June 22, 2015 deadline. VMLRP received 152 applications; of these,
137 were eligible for review. NIFA issued 49 loan repayment offers
and agreements were executed with 48 (including 5 renewals)
veterinarians for a total of $4,504,340 awarded. The award
recipients had an average eligible debt of $112,222.
Thirty-one percent of awards went to veterinarians who obtained
their DVM degrees within the last three years. Twenty-six states
had at least one shortage area filled through the VMLRP.
