Scholarships for Disadvantaged
SUMMARY:
Students Application OMB No. 0915–
0149—Revision.
Abstract: The purpose of the
Scholarships for Disadvantaged
Students (SDS) Program is to promote
diversity among health profession
students and practitioners by providing
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
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
students from disadvantaged
backgrounds who graduate from the
school. In awarding SDS funds to
eligible schools, funding priority points
must be given to schools based on the
proportion of graduate students
practicing in 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).
Information collected for the SDS
application is needed by HRSA to
determine whether applicant schools
meet applicable requirements and
establish priority points for funding.
Applicant schools must complete an
application for each discipline or
program. Data provided includes
numbers of full-time student enrollment
and their racial/ethnicity data, full-time
enrollment by class year of students
from disadvantaged background, full-
time students graduated, full-time
students from disadvantaged
background graduated, and full-time
graduates serving in Medically
Underserved Communities. Numbers of
full-time graduates serving in primary
care must be provided for schools of
medicine, osteopathic medicine,
dentistry, nursing (graduate degree
program), physician assistants, dental
hygiene, and mental and behavioral
health.
Each school will determine the
eligibility of students based on financial
need and whether a student is from a
disadvantaged background.
The SDS program specific form has
been revised to reflect a change in the
order of the fields only. Fields K (Public
or Non Profit Institution) and H (Point
of Contact) have been moved to fields A
and B respectively. Now Field A is
Public or Non Profit Institution and
Field B is Point of Contact. All other
fields remained in sequence and were
renamed in appropriate letter order.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose, or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; to
develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search
data sources; to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The total annual burden
