The Nursing Scholarship Program (NSP or "Nursing Scholarship") is a
competitive Federal program which awards scholarships to individuals
for attendance at schools of nursing. The scholarship 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 by the NSP) at a health care
facility with a critical shortage of nurses.
Nursing Scholarship recipients MUST be willing and are required to
fulfill their NSP service commitment at a health care facility with a
critical shortage of nurses in the United States, the District of
Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Territory of Guam, the
Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the
Territory of American Samoa, the Republic of Palau, the Republic of
the Marshall Islands, or the Federated States of Micronesia.
Scholarship applicants must be citizens or nationals of the United
States (U.S.) to receive Nursing Scholarship awards.
