Now Open! 2020 Nurse Corps Scholarship Program Accepting applications through Thursday, April 30, 7:30 p.m. ET Apply to the Nurse Corps Scholarship Program today. The Nurse Corps Scholarship Program (Nurse Corps SP) provides funding to students enrolled in diploma, associate, baccalaureate, or graduate degree nursing programs. The award is in exchange for a commitment to serve in high-need, underserved communities. Scholarship support includes payment of tuition, required fees, other reasonable educational costs, and a monthly living stipend. After graduation, scholarship recipients fulfill their service commitment at an approved health care facility with a critical shortage of nurses. Each scholar serves for a minimum of two years and receives one year of financial support (up to four years) for each additional year of service. This year, Nurse Corps anticipates making up to 20 percent of awards to nurse practitioner students specializing in psychiatric mental health. This group is at the forefront of national efforts to combat substance use disorder. There is also special funding for nursing students specializing in womens health. |
