Proposed Project: Nursing Scholarship
Program (OMB No. 0915–0301)—
[Revision]
The Nursing Scholarship Program
(NSP) is a competitive Federal program,
which awards scholarships to
individuals for attendance at accredited
schools of nursing. The Bureau of
Clinician Recruitment and Service
(BCRS) in HRSA administers the
program. The scholarship consists of
payment of tuition, fees, other
reasonable educational costs, and a
monthly support stipend. In return, the
students agree to provide a minimum of
2 years of full-time clinical service (or
an equivalent part-time commitment, as
approved by the NSP) at a health care
facility with a critical shortage of nurses
as defined by the program.
NSP recipients must be willing to
(and are required to) fulfill their NSP
service commitment at a health care
facility with a critical shortage of nurses
in the United States, which includes, in
addition to the several States, only: the
District of Columbia, Guam, the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the
Northern Mariana Islands, the U.S.
Virgin Islands, American Samoa, the
Federated States of Micronesia, the
Republic of the Marshall Islands, and

the Republic of Palau. Students who are
uncertain of their commitment to
provide nursing care in a health care
facility with a critical shortage of nurses
in the United States or these territories
are advised not to participate in this
program.
The NSP needs to collect data to
determine an applicant’s eligibility for
the program, to monitor a participant’s
continued enrollment in a school of
nursing, to monitor the participant’s
compliance with the NSP service
obligation, and to obtain data on its
program to ensure compliance with
statutory mandates and prepare annual
reports to Congress. The following
information will be collected: (1) From
the applicants and/or the schools—
general applicant and nursing school
data such as full name, location, tuition/
fees, and enrollment status; (2) from the
schools, on an annual basis—data
concerning tuition/fees and student
enrollment status; and (3) from the
participants and their health care
facilities with a critical shortage of
nurses, on a biannual basis—data
concerning the participant’s
employment status, work schedule and
leave usage. BCRS enters the cost
information into its information data
system, along with the projected amount
for the monthly stipend, to determine
the amount of each scholarship award.
The annual estimate of burden is as

NSP recipients must be willing to (and are required to) fulfill
their NSP service commitment at a health care facility with a critical
