Introduction
The Nursing Scholarship Program (NSP or "Nursing
Scholarship") is a competitive Federal program
which awards scholarships to individuals for attendance
at schools of nursing. The scholarship consists of
payment for tuition, fees, other reasonable educational
costs, and a monthly support stipend. In return, the
students agree to provide a minimum of 2 years of
full-time clinical service (or an equivalent part-time
commitment, as approved by the NSP) at a health care
facility with a critical shortage of nurses.
Nursing Scholarship recipients MUST be willing and
are required to fulfill their NSP service commitment
at a health care facility with a critical shortage
of nurses in the United States, the District of Columbia,
the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Territory of
Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas, the
U.S. Virgin Islands, the Territory of American Samoa,
the Republic of Palau, the Republic of the Marshall
Islands, or the Federated States of Micronesia.
Students who are uncertain
of a commitment to provide nursing in a health
care facility with a critical shortage of nurses
in the United States are advised not to participate
in this program. |
Program Administration
The Bureau of Clinician Recruitment and Service (BCRS),
Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA),
administers the NSP. Within BCRS, the Division of
Applications and Awards (DAA) awards the scholarships
and is responsible for all payments to scholars and
schools; the Division of Scholar and Clinician Support
(DSCS) monitors scholars while in school, reviews
and approves requests for initial service site and
service transfers, and monitors scholars' service
until they have completed their service commitment.
The Legal and Compliance Office (LCO) reviews scholar
and clinician compliance referrals, handles default
determinations, and reviews requests for suspensions
and waivers.
