Geriatrics Fellowship Columbia - Educational Debt Forgiveness

Educational debt forgiveness for geriatric fellows

The State of South Carolina has approved educational debt forgiveness for geriatricians agreeing to practice in the State of South Carolina for five years.

Preference is given to those completing fellowship training in South Carolina.

Qualified applicants who are selected for the loan forgiveness program through the State of South Carolina may receive educational debt repayment of up to $35,000 per year of fellowship training.

If you’ve considered a career in geriatrics but have considerable educational debt that is preventing you from making that choice, please consider applying for Prisma Health/University of South Carolina School of Medicine Columbia fellowship program.

For more information about the loan forgiveness program, visit the SC Department on Aging or contact Kay Taylor Hightower, Program Manager, (803) 734-9903, khightower@aging.sc.gov.
