Proposed Project: Scholarships for
Disadvantaged Students Program (OMB
No. 0915–0149 Extension)
The Health Resources and Services
Administration’s (HRSA’s) Scholarships
for Disadvantaged Students (SDS)
Program has as its purpose the provision
of funds to eligible schools to provide
scholarships to full-time, financially
needy students from disadvantaged
backgrounds enrolled in health
professions and nursing programs.
To qualify for participation in the SDS
program, a school must be carrying out
a program for recruiting and retaining
students from disadvantaged
backgrounds, including students who
are members of racial and ethnic
47233
minority groups (section 737(d)(1)(B) of
the PHS Act). A school must meet the
eligibility criteria to demonstrate that
the program has achieved success based
on the number and/or percentage of
disadvantaged students who are
enrolled and graduate from the school.
In awarding SDS funds to eligible
schools, funding priorities must be
given to schools based on the proportion
of graduating students going into
primary care, the proportion of
underrepresented minority students,
and the proportion of graduates working
in medically underserved communities
(section 737(c) of the PHS Act).

Proposed Project: National Health
Service Corps (NHSC) Travel Request
Worksheet (OMB No. 0915–0278):
Extension
Clinicians participating in the Health
Resources and Services Administration
(HRSA) National Health Service Corps
(NHSC) Scholarship Program use the
Travel Request Worksheet to receive
travel funds from the Federal
Government to perform pre-employment
interviews at sites on the Approved
Practice List. The travel approval
process is initiated when a scholar
notifies the NHSC’s In-Service Support
Branch of an impending interview at
one or more NHSC approved practice
sites.
The Travel Request Worksheet is also
used to initiate the relocation process
after an NHSC scholar has successfully
been matched to an approved practice
site. Upon receipt of the Travel Request
Worksheet, the NHSC will review and
approve or disapprove the request and
promptly notify the NHSC contractor
regarding authorization of the funding
for the relocation.
