SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title:
Nurse Corps Scholarship Program. OMB
No. 0915–0301—Revision.
Abstract: The Nurse Corps
Scholarship Program (Nurse Corps SP)
is a competitive federal program, which
awards scholarships to individuals to
attend accredited schools of nursing.
The Bureau of Health Workforce (BHW)
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 Nurse Corps SP) at a
health care facility with a critical
shortage of nurses as defined by the
program. Nurse Corps SP recipients
must be willing to (and are required to)
fulfill their Nurse Corps SP service
commitment at a health care facility
with a critical shortage of nurses in the
United States as well as 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 the program.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The Nurse Corps SP 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 Nurse Corps SP 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. BHW enters the cost
