Proposed Project: Scholarships for Disadvantaged Students Program--(OMB 
No. 0915-0149)--Reinstatement

    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 Public Health 
Service 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:
