About Nurse Corps Scholarship Program
This federal scholarship aims to strengthen the nursing workforce and cover education costs in exchange for service in a high-need area.
Applicants must be U.S. citizens, nationals, or lawful permanent residents; accepted or enrolled at an accredited U.S. nursing school; and begin classes by the cycle’s required date. Certain federal liens, delinquent debt, and existing service commitments can disqualify applicants. HRSA gives preference to greater financial need, but awards are competitive. The 2026 application is closed and the next opening has not been announced.
Read the 2026 guidance, confirm nursing-school accreditation, and create a My BHW account when the cycle opens. Prepare transcripts, enrollment status, financial information when required, and a comparison with other aid. Before accepting, study eligible facilities, the job search, licensure, and rules for changing programs.
