A path to a better future Student loans are no joke. While they can make the road to higher education possible, they can also be a burden. With a commitment to a career at VA, you can see your student debt dwindle, and secure a better future for yourself while caring for the Veterans we serve.

Let VA shoulder the burden Take a look at just a few of the student debt relief programs you can explore when you work at VA.

For physicians, registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, social workers, psychologists and more, VA’s Education Debt Reduction Program (EDRP) offers loan repayment up to $40,000 a year to those working in some of our hardest-to-fill direct patient care positions. Through the Student Loan Repayment Program (SLRP), some employees may be eligible for up to $60,000 in debt repayment assistance in exchange for signing a service agreement to remain with our team for at least 3 years. By cancelling loans after 10 years of public service, the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program removes the burden of student debt and incentivizes people to work in high-need fields throughout the federal government, including at VA.
