What is the NHSC Scholarship Program?
The NHSC awards scholarships each year to students pursuing careers in primary care. The scholarship includes:
- Payment for tuition, required fees, and other reasonable educational costs
- Monthly support stipend (taxable)
- Assistance in finding a practice site
In return, students commit to serve in the Corps for two to four years in an underserved community located in a Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA) upon their graduation and licensure.
