    The National Health Service Corps (NHSC) Scholarship Program's 
mission is to ensure the geographic representation of physicians and 
other health practitioners in the United States. Under this program, 
health professions students are offered scholarships in return for 
service in a federally designated Health Professional Shortage Area 
(HPSA). The Scholarship Program provides the NHSC with the health 
professionals it requires to carry out its mission of providing primary 
health care to HPSA populations in areas of greatest need. 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. Scholars are selected for 
these competitive awards based on the information provided in the 
application. Awards are made to applicants who demonstrate a high 
potential for providing quality primary health care services.
