The HRSA Nurse Corps Scholarship Program provides 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. Funding preference is given to applicants with the greatest financial need. Applicants must be accepted or enrolled at an accredited school of nursing located in the United States or territory, pursuing a nursing degree or certificate program. Types of eligible nursing programs include Diploma in Nursing; Associate degree in Nursing; Bachelor of Science in Nursing; Graduate-level nurse practitioner; Graduate level advanced registered nurse; and Bridge Nursing Graduate-level Programs. They must begin taking classes on or before September 30, 2024 for academic term 2024-2025. Applicants must also be a US citizen (born or naturalized), a national, or a lawful permanent resident. Applicants are required to submit two letters of recommendation, one academic and one non-academic. If the applicant is currently enrolled in the nursing program, the academic recommendation letter should be from the department chair, faculty advisor, or a faculty member of that academic program who can attest to the applicant's qualifications. If the applicant has not begun the training associated with the scholarship, the academic letter should be from the department chair, faculty advisor, or a faculty member of the applicant's most recent academic program. The non-academic recommendation letter should be from an individual who is familiar with the applicant's professional, community, and/or civic activities, especially those related to underserved communities and, if applicable, federal pipeline program experience.
