Dental Loan Forgiveness Program

One professional deficit area in the state of South Dakota is in the dental field. The Delta Dental Loan Repayment for Service Program was developed by the state to fill-in this gap. Worth up to one-hundred thousand dollars, the Delta Dental Loan Repayment for Service Program offers a very lucrative opportunity for those in the field and serving professionally in South Dakota to drastically reduce the amount of debt that they owe on your education.

Those that wish to apply must meet the following:

• Must make an agreement to provide dental care to those that are underserved
• Must accept Medicaid and Medicare patients, at least a portion of the time
• Must serve in an underserved population
• May substitute actually seeing patients from a socioeconomically depressed area with work on what is called the Delta Mobile Dental Program
