Position Overview:

This role is eligible for the Education Debt Reduction Program (EDRP), which offers reimbursement for student loan payments. To qualify, candidates must meet specific eligibility criteria as per VHA policy and submit their EDRP application within the designated timeframe.

Program Details: Approval, award amounts (up to $200,000), and eligibility periods (ranging from one to five years) are determined by the VHA Education Loan Repayment Services program office following a thorough review of the EDRP application.
