If you are a student studying to be a nurse practitioner, physician assistant or certified nurse midwife, you may be eligible to receive $7,500 for up to two years. To qualify, you must fulfill an obligation to practice full time in a designated shortage area as an allied health-care professional in Illinois for one year for each year you receive scholarship funding. If you fail to fulfill the obligation requirements, you must repay the state three times the amount of the scholarship received for each unfulfilled year of obligation, plus seven-percent interest per year. This program is administered by the Illinois Department of Public Health.
