Offers grants to help immigrants become nurses and health professionals, and lets them join a federal health program.
This bill would create a grant program to help immigrants cover costs like education, training, and licensing to become nurses or allied health professionals. It would also allow certain immigrants to join the National Health Service Corps. This Corps helps provide healthcare in underserved areas, and members can access its scholarship and loan repayment programs.
Today, immigrants may face high costs for education and licensing to become nurses or allied health professionals. They also generally cannot join the National Health Service Corps. If this bill passes, eligible immigrants would get financial help for these costs and could join the Corps, including its scholarship and loan programs, helping them enter the healthcare workforce.
