Individuals selected to receive the Nursing Scholarship are required to serve, at a minimum, a 2-year service contract. The service obligation is extended by 1 year for each year of Nursing Scholarship support received beyond 2 years. If a scholar receives support for 1 year or less, then there is still an obligation to serve 2 years.

The Nursing Scholarship Program hopes that scholars will remain at their service sites and continue serving those in need even after the service commitment is fulfilled.

Scholars who have satisfactorily completed their service commitment and are working at eligible nonprofit facilities may apply to the Nursing Education Loan Repayment program to obtain funds to repay a portion of the outstanding balance on qualifying education loans.
