Students who get VA scholarships to study health fields must get a full-time VA job contract within 90 days after finishing their courses, and they will be placed at VA locations that need them most. It sets a clear timeline for the VA to bring these scholarship participants on board, rather than leaving them waiting. These rules apply through fiscal year 2027.
