If the recipient does not successfully fulfill this contractual obligation, he/she will be required to repay all scholarships or loan repayments received, plus 10 percent interest and $250 administrative fees. Selection for the awards is based on the following criteria: counties most in need of registered nurses, work experience, financial need, career goals, cultural/linguistic skills and abilities, community service, community background, and academic performance.
