NHSC Scholarship Program

The National Health Service Corps (NHSC) Scholarship Program provides financial support to students pursuing eligible health professions training. Recipients receive funding to cover educational expenses in exchange for a commitment to provide primary care services in underserved communities after completing their training. The program aims to build the primary care workforce in areas with limited access to healthcare by supporting students who commit to serving in Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs). The NHSC Scholarship Program is administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), a division of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. Prospective scholars can learn about eligibility requirements and application processes, while current scholars receive guidance on complying with program requirements and policies throughout their service commitment.
