Overview
Are you seeking financial assistance for outstanding educational loans? Do you want to find funding for personal and career development? This page is designed for National Park Service employees who want to explore funding options for external educational opportunities.
For repayment of employee development opportunities outside of trainings that are offered in-house, there are two options:
- Student Loan Repayment Program
- Albright-Wirth Grant Program
Student Loan Repayment Program
The NPS may agree to repay all or part of any outstanding qualifying student loan or loans previously taken out by a job candidate to whom an offer of employment has been made, or by a current employee of the agency.
