FORGIVABLE EDUCATION LOANS FOR SERVICE (FELS) The 2011 North Carolina General Assembly enacted legislation that merged multiple state programs into a single program known as the Forgivable Education Loans for Service Program (FELS), providing forgivable loans to qualified NC residents who are committed to working in North Carolina in identified high-need professions (nursing, teaching, allied health fields, medicine). FELS recipients will sign a promissory note agreeing to work in North Carolina in their approved fields of study. Application available at CFNC.org/FELS
