These municipalities have populations between 35,000 and 250,000, with median household incomes and educational attainment rates below the state average. Eligible professionals must have attended undergraduate, dental, medical, or nursing schools in the United States and must practice in a gateway municipality. The reimbursement rate is 10% of the total tuition paid or student loans incurred.
