Nonfederal direct loans obtained pursuant to section 5 of this act  1 and Federal Family Education Loans together with interest thereon secured after admission to the Minority Advancement Program may be redeemed by program participants who entered the program prior to the effective date of P.L.1999, c. 46 (N.J.S.18A:71A-1 et al.), upon execution of a contract between the participant and the Higher Education Student Assistance Authority. The maximum loan redemption for program participants shall amount to cancellation of repayment for one-quarter of the eligible loan indebtedness in return for each full academic year of service as a faculty member in a New Jersey college or university for total cancellation of loan indebtedness for up to, but not to exceed, a maximum of $40,000.00 per student.
