Proposed Project: Scholarships for Disadvantaged Students Program (OMB
No. 0915-0149) Extension
The Scholarships for Disadvantaged Students (SDS) Program has as
its purpose the provision of funds to eligible schools to provide
scholarships to full-time students with financial need 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 (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
[[Page 19651]]
in medically underserved communities (section 737(c) of the PHS Act).
