Nurse Corps Scholarship Program

The Nurse Corps SP is a competitive program administered by the Bureau of Health Workforce (BHW) within HHS’ Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). HRSA improves the health of underserved and vulnerable populations by strengthening the health workforce and connecting skilled professionals to communities in need. The Nurse Corps SP’s holistic approach to application review allows for the program to consider the student as a whole person and to select recipients who are likely to remain at their service sites even after their Nurse Corps SP commitment is fulfilled.

Applicants are strongly encouraged to explore the types of nursing opportunities that exist in eligible critical shortage facilities (CSFs) before applying to the Nurse Corps SP. Upon graduation and licensing, all participants must fulfill their service obligation at an eligible health care facility and are required to do so in the discipline (Registered Nurse (RN) or Nurse Practitioner (NP)) for which they were funded. If accepted, applicants will have their tuition, fees, and other educational costs paid for. 

Visit Health Resources & Services Administration for more information and to apply.
