When does the Nursing Scholarship service obligation begin?
Nursing participants have up to 6 months from the date of graduation to (1) obtain a nursing license and (2) accept an offer of employment from an NSP approved facility. Participants have up to 3 months following the day of their acceptance of such job offer to commence full-time (or if approved part-time) clinical services at a critical shortage facility. For more information, see Service Requirements and Eligible Sites under NSP.
