National Health Service Corps released the 2015 Application and Program Guidance for the NHSC Scholarship Program. The application cycle will close on May 7, 2015, at 7:30 p.m. ET.


  • The NHSC Scholarship Program awards scholarships to health professions students who want to pursue their passion and work as a primary care provider without the burden of overwhelming financial debt.

  • Scholarship support includes tax-free payment of tuition, required fees, other reasonable educational costs, and a taxable monthly living stipend.

  • All students applying to the program must be a U.S. citizen or national and enrolled or accepted in an eligible degree program at a U.S. accredited school as follows:

Medicine: MD or DO Dentistry: DMD or DDS Nurse Practitioner (NP): adult, family, geriatrics, pediatrics, psychiatric, or women’s health Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) Physician Assistant (PA)

  • NHSC Scholarship Program recipients fulfill their service commitment at an NHSC-approved site upon completion of their graduation and/or training. For each year of financial support (up to four years) a Scholarship recipient serves one year at an NHSC-approved site in a high-need urban, rural, or frontier community. All recipients must serve a minimum of two years.

  • The NHSC Scholarship Program is competitive. Applicants are encouraged to submit their application early.
