The 2022 Nurse Corps Scholarship Program (SP) application cycle is now open.

Nurse Corps provides financial support to students accepted to or enrolled in a nursing degree program at an accredited school of nursing in the United States. After graduation from nursing school, scholarship recipients serve a minimum two-year commitment at an approved health care facility with a critical shortage of nurses.

The scholarship includes payment of tuition, eligible fees, a monthly stipend for living expenses, and other reasonable educational costs (books, clinical supplies and instruments).

Nurse Corps has reserved special funding for the following areas:

• Up to 20% of awards will go to nurse practitioners with a specialty in psychiatric mental health.
• Up to $5 million will go to:
  • Registered Nurses to work in women’s health or obstetrics

  • Certified Nurse Midwives to work in improving maternal health outcomes
• Up to $2 million for career pathway health professionals such as Certified Nursing Assistants, Home Health Aides, Medical Assistants, Licensed Practical (Vocational) Nurses, and other entry-level health professionals.
