The Health Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA) Nursing Scholarship Program (NSP) application cycle is now open. We hope that you will help us spread the word about the program and the exciting opportunities available for registered nursing (RN) students you interact with.
- What is the NSP? The NSP awards scholarships to students enrolled or accepted for enrollment in accredited RN training programs. Scholarship recipients receive tuition, fees, other educational costs and a living stipend in exchange for at least 2 years of post graduation service at a health care facility with a critical shortage of nurses.
- Who is Eligible to Apply? U.S. citizens (born or naturalized), nationals or lawful permanent residents enrolled or accepted for enrollment in a professional RN program (baccalaureate, graduate, associate degree, or diploma) at an accredited school of nursing located in a U.S. state or territory may apply.
