Scholarship recipients serve where they are most needed upon completion of their training. The program offers payment of the following for up to four years of education: tuition, fees, books, supplies, and equipment. It also includes a monthly stipend. To be eligible for the NHSC Scholarship Program, you must be a U.S. citizen enrolled, or accepted for enrollment, in a U.S. fully-accredited allopathic or osteopathic medical school, family nurse practitioner or nurse-midwifery program, or a bachelor's or master's physician assistant program. Scholars completing medical school are expected to complete residency programs in one of the following specialties: family medicine, general pediatrics, general internal medicine, or obstetrics/gynecology. Directly upon completion of your training, you will choose a practice site in a federally designated health professional shortage area identified as having the greatest need. Period of service is one year for each year of support you receive, with a two-year minimum commitment. Sponsored by the National Health Service Corps. Additional keywords: underserved, minority.
