This bill creates three new federal grant programs to help pay for medical school, dental school, and nursing school tuition. The grants are designed to address healthcare workforce shortages by making professional health education more affordable.

Under the MED Grant program, medical and osteopathic medicine students at accredited schools can receive grants covering their full tuition and required fees. In exchange, recipients must commit to practicing primary care as a physician for at least 10 years within 15 years of completing their degree. The program starts July 1, 2026, and will receive whatever funding is needed to support all eligible applicants.

If a grant recipient fails to complete their service obligation, the grant converts into a federal student loan that must be repaid with interest. However, the bill includes protections: recipients who complete 5 years or less of service owe back no more than $50,000, those completing 5-10 years owe back no more than $25,000, and there's a $50,000 overall cap. The bill also allows recipients to request reconsideration if they believe they've actually met their service requirements, with provisions to discharge loans and restore grants if errors occurred.

The bill establishes similar DENTAL Grant and NURSE Grant programs with comparable structures, though the full details of those programs appear in sections not fully shown in this text. All programs require applicants to complete a FAFSA and meet standard student eligibility requirements. The government will notify recipients regularly about their obligations and provide standardized forms for employment certification.
