In order to comply with the service obligation requirements associated with your Nursing Scholarship Program, you must verify your employment as a nurse working or teaching nursing in West Virginia in order to avoid repayment.   The terms as outlined in the Promissory Note you signed requires continued employment in West Virginia after graduating (two years for every year awarded).

Please complete and return the “CON Employment Verification Form”.   You have six months from your graduation date to locate qualifying employment.  Both you and your employer must complete the form and return it within this time period.

Congratulations on your graduation and best wishes for your nursing career!
