Nurse Faculty Loan Program - The University of Minnesota has successfully administered the Nurse Faculty Loan Program for the school of nursing since 2009 adhering to all the requirements to administer the fund. The NFL program has enabled graduates from the University of Minnesota School of Nursing (UMSON) doctoral programs (doctor of nursing practice and PhD) to serve as faculty at the UMSON as well as other schools of nursing in Minnesota and other states. Each year, student interest in participating in the NFL program has increased and the students receiving NFL funds have successfully obtained a faculty position. The need for faculty in Minnesota schools of nursing continues to be critical. The NFL program is one of the essential strategies to address the faculty shortage in Minnesota, including faculty of color and faculty for schools located in rural Minnesota. For 2022-23, we anticipate awarding 25 doctoral students with NFL funds.
