The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is forecasting the availability of grants under the Scholarships for Disadvantaged Students (SDS) program, aimed at increasing diversity in the health professions and nursing workforce. This program provides financial awards to eligible health professions schools to support scholarships for students from disadvantaged backgrounds, particularly those from racial and ethnic minority groups, with the goal of enhancing the number of graduates in primary care and those serving in medically underserved communities. With an estimated total program funding of $51,470,000 and approximately 85 awards expected, interested applicants can reach out to Denise Sorrell at SDSProgram@hrsa.gov or by phone at 301-443-6752. Key deadlines include an estimated synopsis post date of September 30, 2024, and a close date of December 30, 2024, with projects anticipated to start on July 1, 2025.
