Tuition and Support Fee

The loan that Alaska WICHE PSEP students receive through ACPE is specifically for the annual support fee to participate in PSEP. Alaska PSEP students may pay a lower tuition at the institution they attend, and are encouraged to work with financial aid offices to determine their total cost of attendance.

Repayment

Repayment begins six months after you stop attending school at least half time. The standard repayment period is ten years. Your monthly payment will be based on your total debt, subject to a minimum payment of $50.00 a month.

How can you keep loan costs low?

• Develop a budget and pay bills on time
• Prepay your loan before while in a non-payment status, such as in school or in grace
• Choose a repayment plan and payment method that's right for your situation

• Be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen, and an Alaska resident
• Have a high school diploma or equivalent (GED)
• Enroll at an eligible PSEP institution in one of the following fields of study: Dentistry, Occupational Therapy, Optometry, Physician's Assistant, Podiatry, Pharmacy, Physical Therapy

To qualify for the PSEP, you must have a credit history that documents an ability and willingness to pay an extension of credit, or have an eligible cosigner. Visit our Understanding Credit page to learn more about credit reports and establishing good credit.

Interest Rate, APR, and Fees

The PSEP has a fixed interest rate of 6.0% (5.85% APR) in-school and in repayment. A "fixed" rate means the base interest rate will not change; however, it may be reduced by Borrower Benefits while in repayment.

What is APR?

APR stands for the Annual Percentage Rate and is the yearly cost of borrowing your loan, shown as a percent of the amount you borrowed. The APR referenced above assumes a 4-year student, principal loan amount of $10,000, no origination fee, and a repayment term of 15 years. The interest rate and APR do not factor in any reductions due to borrower benefits.

Fees

There are no origination or prepayment fees on the PSEP loan.

Whom should Alaskans contact if they are interested in information about the WWAMI program?

Students interested in entering medical school may schedule a meeting for pre-health professions guidance through the WWAMI School of Medical Education at UAA by contacting the Program Assistant:

Alida van Almelo
Program Assistant
UAA WWAMI School of Medical Education
3211 Providence Drive, HSB 301
Anchorage, AK 99508
Email: arvanalmelo@alaska.edu 
 

Students are encouraged to meet with an advisor to discuss course schedules, preparation for entrance exams, completion of applications, coordination of letters of recommendation, and other topics applicable to the development of a suitable undergraduate program and effective applications to professional schools.

For more information, visit the Health Professions Advising website.

What is my financial obligation for the WWAMI Program?

The loan obligation for a WWAMI student is equal to 50% of the annual support fee paid by the state, plus interest. Since there is no support fee paid for the first year of the WWAMI program, students will not be required to repay any obligation for that year. By signing the WWAMI Medical Education Loan Program MPN, participants will have a repayment obligation for their second, third and fourth years of medical school support fees. An annual Notification of Award letter will be sent to participants advising them of the amount of their financial obligation for the related program year.

For More Information, see WWAMI Frequently Asked Questions

WWAMI Loan Forgiveness

A student who successfully completes the WWAMI program and is employed within Alaska in a qualifying professional medical practice may be eligible for forgiveness on their WWAMI loan. WWAMI loans are eligible to have the outstanding principal and accrued interest forgiven in accordance with the following percentages:

(A) for employment in rural areas of the state, up to three year of employment, 33.33% for each year;
(B) for employment in areas of the state that do not qualify under the program definition as rural, up to five years of employment, 20% for each year.

Participants must contact AES once they are working full-time as a physician in Alaska to obtain the necessary forms to document the periods of employment that qualify the student for forgiveness.

For More Information, see WWAMI Frequently Asked Questions

• Be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen, and an Alaska resident for at least two consecutive years at the time of application in order to obtain residency certification.
• Have a high school diploma or equivalent (GED)
• Be accepted to the WWAMI Medical Education Program

How are new participants selected for participation in the WWAMI program?

Each year the Alaska WWAMI (Washington, Alaska, Montana, and Idaho) and the University of Washington School of Medicine (UWSOM) Admissions Committees work together to interview and select Alaskans for the program. The Alaska WWAMI office at the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA) certifies an applicant’s eligibility for the program based on responses to an Eligibility Questionnaire. Once an Alaskan applicant is admitted, ACPE is prompted to send the individual the “Welcome to the WWAMI program email” with a link to the Master Promissory Note (MPN). All WWAMI students must complete, sign and submit the MPN prior to beginning their program of study.

The WWAMI loan has a fixed interest rate of 5.75% (5.31% APR) in-school and in repayment. This means the base interest rate of 5.75% is not subject to change.

The above rates are for the 2026-2027 academic year, effective July 1, 2026.

What is APR?

APR stands for the Annual Percentage Rate and is the yearly cost of borrowing your loan, shown as a percent of the amount you borrowed. The APR referenced above is only an example and assumes a principal loan amount of $10,000, for a 4-year student with repayment beginning after a six-month grace period. The loan repayment term is 15 years.

Fees

There are no origination or prepayment fees on the WWAMI loan.
