Abstract: The Nursing Scholarship Program's purpose is to provide scholarships to nursing students in exchange for a service commitment at an eligible health facility with a critical shortage of nurses. Under this program, students seeking to become registered nurses are offered the opportunity to enter into a contractural agreement under which HHS agrees to pay the total school tuition required fees, and a stipend for living expenses.
