NHSC Student Scholarship Program
The National Health Service Corps (NHSC) is now accepting applications for its student scholarship program. Applications are due April 28.
The scholarship pays tuition, fees, and other educational costs, and provides a living stipend in return for a commitment to work at least 2 years at an NHSC-approved site in a medically underserved community.
For each year of financial support (up to four years), the student agrees to serve one year (minimum two years) at an NHSC-approved site in a high-need urban, rural, or frontier community across the nation.
Service begins upon graduation. The NHSC helps scholars find a practice site that’s right for them. When in service, scholars earn a market-rate salary paid by the employing facility.
Scholarship payments, other than the living stipend, are free from federal income tax.
