    On March 12, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) announced its intent to release a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the Scholarships for Disadvantaged Students (SDS) Program. The SDS program seeks to expand the health workforce by providing scholarships for students from disadvantaged backgrounds pursuing careers in health professions. Eligible applicants include accredited programs offering graduate degrees in behavioral and mental health, including social work. HRSA plans to distribute an estimated $51.079 million in funding to approximately 80 grantees over the next five years, with a maximum award ceiling of $650,000. Applications are anticipated to open on April 6 and will be due on May 21.

    Unfortunately, this has now been pushed back to 5/12/26, but will be an amazing opportunity to support the health workforce!
