www.ihs.gov has information on the loan repayment program. They pay up to a certain amount of the loan for every 2 years you work. It is a good program, mostly if you work in an IHS or IHS eligible facility (usually in the bush parts of Alaska, if you are speaking of Alaska specifically). The downside is if you get on in a position and six months later decide it isn't for you - you have to find another facility that qualifies that will hire you or you have to repay the payment they make to you on your loan.
