Under this program, health professional students are offered scholarships in return for services in a federally-designated Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA). If awarded an NHSC Scholarship, the Program requires the schools and the awardees to review and complete data collection worksheets for each year that the student is a NHSC Scholar. The Data Sheet requests that the NHSC Scholar review the form for the accuracy of information such as social security number, contact information, current curriculum, and date of graduation. If the information is inaccurate, the scholar makes the necessary changes directly on the form. If the inaccurate information pertains to the curriculum or date of graduation, the scholar will make changes directly on the form and include written notification from the school. The Verification Sheet is sent to the school along with a list of the NHSC scholars who are enrolled for the current academic year. The schools verify and/or correct the enrollment status of each of the scholars on the list. The Contact Sheet requests contact information for pertinent school officials. This information is used by the NHSC Scholarship Program for future contacts with the schools.
