State Loan Program

Missouri PRIMO Loan: This is a forgivable loan offered by the state of Missouri. Recipients must be Missouri residents going into primary care. Selected students receive $20,000 per academic year. Applications from previous PRIMO recipients, individuals from rural or underserved areas and minority individuals are given priority. Upon completion of residency, recipients must serve in a defined need area of the state. The Missouri Department of Health designates defined need areas as those that are experiencing a shortage of comprehensive primary care providers. All funds received by PRIMO scholars accrue interest at the rate of 9.5 percent annually beginning from the date the check is issued. If a recipient does not fulfill his or her obligation, the loan must be repaid within 60 months. The deadline for application is June 30, for new applicants. If you are interested in this loan, check out the PRIMO Web site.
