Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic encourages all candidates for employment not to base their employment decision solely on the expectation of loan repayment.

The employee or candidate interested in loan repayment is responsible for requesting an application from contacts listed below. The Clinic does not have loan repayment application forms available. Application forms change annually, so only the current one will be accepted.

The Clinic annually applies for loan repayment opportunities on a site-by-site basis, specifying which disciplines are needed. As these "slots" are awarded on a competitive basis criteria that can change from year-to-year, the Clinic cannot promise that a loan repayment opportunity will be available at a future time.

The Clinic can endorse a candidate for loan repayment, if a loan repayment vacancy is available or becomes available, and can promise to apply for a slot. But YVFWC cannot promise NHSC or Washington State loan repayment to any individual.
