Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request

    Periodically, the Health Resources and Services Administration 
(HRSA) publishes abstracts of information collection requests under 
review by the Office of Management and Budget, in compliance with the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a 
copy of the clearance requests submitted to OMB for review, call the 
HRSA Reports Clearance Office on (301)-443-1129.
    The following request has been submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995:
    Proposed Project: Scholarships for Disadvantaged Students Program--
(OMB No. 0915-0149)--Reinstatement, with change.
    The Scholarships for Disadvantaged Students (SDS) Program has as 
its purpose the provision of funds to eligible schools to provide 
scholarships to full-time, financially needy students from 
disadvantaged backgrounds enrolled in health professions and nursing 
programs.
    To qualify for participation in the SDS program, a school must be 
carrying out a program for recruiting and retaining students from 
disadvantaged backgrounds, including students who are members of racial 
and ethnic minority groups (section 737(d)(1)(B) of the PHS Act). A 
school must meet the eligibility criteria to demonstrate that the 
program has achieved success based on the number and/or percentage of 
disadvantaged students who graduate from the school. In awarding SDS 
funds to eligible schools, funding priorities must be given to schools 
based on the proportion of graduating students going into primary care, 
the proportion of underrepresented minority students, and the 
proportion of graduates working in medically underserved communities 
(section 737(c) of the PHS Act).
    The estimated response burden is as follows:
