OUTSTANDING RURAL SCHOLAR RECOGNITION PROGRAM

    A competitive forgiveness loan program that assists rural communities
    in "growing their own" health care professionals.  The program matches
    state funds with rural community funds to sponsor individuals pursuing
    health care professions that are needed in the sponsoring rural commu-
    nity.  Upon licensure, the health care professional returns to the
    sponsoring rural community to practice health care.
