Nursing Scholarship Program Now Accepting Applications for 2009-10; Deadline May 14
The Health Resources Services Administration has announced that it is now accepting student applications for the Nursing Scholarship Program for the 2009-10 academic year.
The Nursing Scholarship Program is a competitive program which awards scholarships to individuals in training to be registered nurses at accredited nursing schools or programs. The scholarship is available to undergraduate and graduate students. The award 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) at a health care facility with a critical shortage of nurses. First funding preference will be given to qualified applicants who have a zero Expected Family Contribution (EFC).
The deadline for completing the online application is 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, May 14, 2009.
