Criteria for cancellation:
  1. Employment as a full-time faculty member at an accredited school of nursing.

Loan cancellation occurs over four years with repayment of 20% of the total principal and interest repaid following years one, two, and three, and 25% being repaid following year four.
Repayment of the additional balance is postponed during the cancellation period. This loan accrues interest at a rate of 3% per annum, beginning 3 months after graduation; and after obtaining employment as a nurse faculty within 12 months following graduation.
