The program is under the support and care of the US Department of Health and Human Services and is implemented by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) The program is only allowed for US citizens or nationals. Those citizens from other countries that are now permanent citizens in the US are not allowed to participate in the program. That’s how stricter the nursing scholarship of the US government.
With this kind of program given by the US government it should already helped the reported shortage in nurses. There maybe no proper information so that the HRSA nursing scholarship is not availed by many American students. The applicant of the program must be enrolled either part time or full time in any school which has accreditation for associate, diploma, diploma or graduate degree programs. The applicant should also be free from federal matters, service commitments and no other debt from the federal. As for the selection criteria, applicants with bad financial needs for education. It doesn’t matter whether. HRSA has recently announced it will be giving at least 220 new scholars for the school year 2008.

The national government in the US should be able to give this scholarship to all the American students – even online degree program – who need to avail of this very commendable opportunity. Although it is limited only to native-Americans but this government-funded program is able to give this to qualified applicants. This means through massive advertising for this program the shortage problem in the US. It a very laudable program and it should be proudly announced in schools so that there will be this kind of scholarship for them in this country. Even when there is, if campaign is not doing well, it is also expected the reported shortage in nurses in the country would continue to haunt the national leadership.
