Second-Year Medical Student Earns National Health Service Corps Scholarship

Dung Nguyen, a second-year student at Nova Southeastern University’s College of Osteopathic Medicine, emerged triumphant from a competitive pool of applicants to receive a National Health Service Corps (NHSC) scholarship in October. Nguyen was one of 200 recipients selected from a group of 3,000 qualified applicants. The NHSC awards scholarships each year to students pursuing careers in primary care. The scholarship includes payment for tuition, required fees, and other reasonable educational costs, a monthly support stipend, and assistance in finding a practice site. In return, students commit to serve in the NHSC for two to four years in an underserved community located in a Health Professional Shortage Area upon their graduation and licensure.
