§930. Return to practice; failure to comply; remittance; death cancellation; disability; waivers
A. Within such time after the applicant has completed nursing school, as the office shall provide by regulation, the scholarship recipient shall return to Charity Hospital of Louisiana at New Orleans to practice nursing. The recipient shall remain for a period of two years as consideration for the nursing scholarship awarded.
B. If the recipient fails to comply fully with any condition as provided in this Part, the recipient shall remit to the office that amount which bears the same ratio to the aggregate of the amount of the scholarship awarded as the number of months that the recipient failed to comply with this condition bears to the number of months he was obligated to comply. Said amount shall be computed together with interest at ten percent per annum; such interest to be computed from the date on which the recipient completed nursing training and active military service, if any. Such repayment shall be completed within seven years from the date at which the scholarship began to draw interest. The Louisiana Department of Health shall be authorized to develop a mandatory periodic repayment schedule of not longer than seven years to begin on the date the scholarship was awarded for a recipient who fails to comply fully with any condition as provided in this Part.
C. The permanent withdrawal or dismissal of a recipient from nursing school shall forfeit immediately the right of the recipient to retain the scholarship, the scholarship shall begin to bear interest at that time, and repayment in full shall be made to the office within seven years.
D. Any recipient of a scholarship who fails to return to Charity Hospital of Louisiana at New Orleans upon completion of nursing training shall begin repayment of the scholarship, with interest, within one year after completion of nursing training. Repayment in full shall be made to the appropriate office within seven years.
E. Any obligation to comply with such contract shall be cancelled upon the death of the recipient, upon receipt of a certified copy of the death certificate by the office, or upon the permanent and total disability of the recipient.
F. The appropriate office shall provide by regulation for waiver or suspension of any financial obligation where compliance would involve extreme or unusual hardship.
G. No payment on the principal of the scholarship, or the interest thereon, shall be required while the recipient is enrolled in nursing school.
