Overview
The purpose of the Nurse Corps Scholarship Program (Nurse Corps SP) is to provide scholarships to nursing students in exchange for a minimum two-year, full-time service commitment (or part time equivalent), at an eligible health care facility with a critical shortage of nurses. The information that applicants supply is used to evaluate their eligibility, qualifications, and to assess their continued compliance with the applicable standards for participation in the Nurse Corps SP. In addition, information from other sources is considered (e.g., credit bureau reports).
