The expanded Graduate Nurses' Education Loan Repayment Program is limited to federally-funded repayments on education loans on behalf of eligible professional nurses whose service period ends on October 1, 1991, or later. Payments in the expanded program must be matched on the basis of 70 percent state funds and 30 percent federal funds. The Commissioner may authorize repayment of eligible education loans made to an eligible professional nurse who first qualifies for a state-funded repayment and additionally qualifies for a federal repayment under federal guidelines.
