Abstract: The Nurse Corps Scholarship Program (NCSP), administered
by the HRSA Bureau of Health Workforce, provides scholarships to
nursing students in exchange for a minimum two-year full-time service
commitment (or part-time equivalent), at an eligible health care
facility with a critical shortage of nurses (i.e. Critical Shortage
Facility (CSF)). The scholarship consists of payment of tuition, fees,
other reasonable educational costs, and a monthly support stipend.
Program recipients are required to fulfill NCSP service commitments at
CSFs located in the 50 States, 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.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The NCSP collects data to
determine an applicant's eligibility for the program, monitor a
participant's continued enrollment in a school of nursing, monitor the
participant's compliance with the NCSP service obligation, and prepare
annual reports to Congress. The following information will be collected
(1) from the schools, on a quarterly basis--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 overall student enrollment status; and (3)
from the participants and their employing CSF on a biannual basis--data
concerning the participant's employment status, work schedule, and
leave usage.
Likely Respondents: NCSP scholars in school, graduates, educational
institutions, and CSFs.
Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide the
