Preparing Your Application Documents 

Before you begin your National Health Service Corps (NHSC) Loan Repayment Program Application, we encourage you to gather the following documentation:

Required Documents

  1. Proof of Status as a U.S. Citizen or U.S. National – A copy of a valid U.S. passport, passport card, U.S. birth certificate, or U.S Naturalization Certificate. (Note: A driver’s license or a Social Security card are not acceptable.) 
  2. Loan Documentation – Applicants will be required to provide two types of documentation for each manual loan that is being submitted for consideration: (a) an account statement and (b) a disbursement report. For additional information on what information needs to be included on these documents, please see pages 39-41 of the Application & Program Guidance.
