Proposed Project: The National Health Service Corps (NHSC) and 
Native Hawaiian Health (NHH) Scholarship Programs Data Collection 
Worksheets

    In Use Without Approval--The NHSC and NHH Scholarship Programs were 
established to assure an adequate supply of trained primary care health 
professionals to the neediest communities in the Health Professional 
Shortage Areas (HPSAs) of the United States. Under these programs, 
allopathic physicians, osteopathic physicians, dentists, nurse 
practitioners, nurse midwives, physician assistants, and, if needed by 
the NHSC or NHH program, students of other health professions are 
offered the opportunity to enter into a contractual agreement with the 
Secretary under which the Public Health Service agrees to pay the total 
school tuition, required fees, other reasonable costs (ORC) and a 
stipend for living expenses. In exchange, the scholarship recipient 
agrees to provide full-time clinical services at a site in a federally 
designated HPSA.
    In order to accurately determine the amount of scholarship support 
that students will need during their academic training, the Bureau of 
Primary Health Care must contact each scholar's school for an estimate 
of tuition, fees, and ORC. The Data Collection Worksheet collects these 
itemized costs for both resident and nonresident students.
    The estimated reporting burden is as follows:
