About the Program
Minnesota helps pay student loans for a short list of health professionals: obstetrician-gynecologists, women's health nurse practitioners, certified nurse midwives, dental therapists, dental hygienists and dentists. You agree to work at least two years at an approved site in a federally designated shortage area. The state doesn't publish a per-person award amount, and the program's funding is $65,449 in federal money plus $100,000 from the state. The 2026-27 round took applications from July 9 to September 9, 2026, so it's closed for now.
