The National Health Service Corps
I had not heard of this until today. I am reposting this site information because of a Facebook posting by the
UConn Office of National Scholarships on Facebook.
Here is that link:

Here is a short quote from the FB posting:
"DUE 5/8/12: National Health Service Corps Scholarship Apps:
• The NHSC Scholarship Program removes the burden of overwhelming
educational debt and allows program participants the ability to pursue a
passion for primary care and serving the underserved.
• For each
year of financial support (up to four years) a Scholarship recipient
serves one year (minimum two years) in an NHSC-approved site in high-need urban, rural, and frontier communities across the nation.
• Scholarship support includes tax-free payment of tuition, required
fees, other reasonable educational costs, and a monthly living stipend
(taxable).
• 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 in Medicine: MD or DO; Dentistry:
DMD or DDS; Nurse Practitioner (Adult, Family, Geriatrics, Pediatrics,
Psychiatric, or Women’s health); Certified Nurse Midwife; and Physician
Assistant."
I just sent this information to someone else who is thinking of a nursing career, and also sharing it on the Nontraditional Students Facebook page too. This is a great opportunity and reminds me of the TeachAmerica and AmericCorps.
