The National Health Service Corps (NHSC) Scholarship Program is a scholarship program offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The program is designed to provide financial assistance to medical, dental, and mental health students who agree to work in underserved communities after graduation.
The NHSC Scholarship Program covers tuition, fees, and other educational expenses, as well as providing a monthly stipend to cover living expenses. In exchange for this financial support, scholarship recipients are required to commit to working for at least two years in a Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA) upon completion of their training.
The NHSC Scholarship Program is intended to address the shortage of healthcare professionals in underserved communities across the United States. By providing financial assistance to students who commit to serving these communities, the program aims to improve access to healthcare for those who need it most.
