The following request has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995: Proposed Project: The National Health Service Corps (NHSC) Scholarship Program Application (OMB No. 0915-0146)—[Revision] The National Health Service Corps (NHSC) Scholarship Program provides the NHSC with the health professionals it requires to carry out its mission of providing primary health care to populations residing in areas of greatest need. Under this program, health professions students are awarded scholarships in return for service in a federally designated Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA). Students are supported who are well qualified to participate in the NHSC Scholarship Program and who want to assist the NHSC in its mission, both during and after their period of obligated service. The NHSC Scholarship Program forms are used to collect relevant information necessary to make award determinations. Scholars are selected for these competitive awards based on the information provided in the application, forms, and supporting documentation. Awards are made to applicants who demonstrate a high potential for providing quality primary health care services in HPSAs. The program forms include the following: The NHSC Scholarship Program Application, Academic and Non-Academic Evaluation Letters (formerly Letters of Recommendation), the Authorization to Release Information, the Verification of Acceptance/Good Standing Report, the Receipt of Exceptional Financial Need Scholarship, the Verification Regarding Disadvantaged Background and the Acceptance/Declination Form. Also included are the Data Collection Worksheet, which is completed by the schools of program participants, the Deferment Request Form, which is completed by program participants and the Six-Month Service Obligation Verification Form, which is completed by program participants and their sites. The annual estimate of burden for applicants is as follows: Instrument
