Scholarship Recipient Employment Verification
To satisfy the conditions of the Graduate Nursing Scholarship Program, recipients must verify employment in Alabama as a professional nurse or nursing instructor for two (2) years following completion of the graduate degree. Recipients must have their employment verified within six (6) months following their graduation and every six (6) months thereafter, until the two (2) year service obligation is completed. Note: if the recipient received more than one scholarship, a service obligation is required for each scholarship awarded. The two-year service obligation for each scholarship runs consecutively, not concurrently.
