Nurse Corps Scholarship Program

The Nurse Corps Scholarship Program is a competitive program administered by the Bureau of Health Workforce (BHW) within the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) at HHS. HRSA improves the health of underserved and vulnerable populations by strengthening the health workforce and connecting skilled professionals to communities in need.
