Immigrants in Nursing and Allied Health Act of 2026

This bill would let the Secretary of Health and Human Services give grants to state, local, and Tribal governments and private organizations to help certain immigrants become nurses or allied health professionals. Eligible immigrants include green card holders, refugees, people granted asylum, and other immigrants allowed to work in the United States. Grant money could pay for education, training, licensing, and exam costs, living stipends during exam study, English as a second language classes, and help getting overseas school or training records. The bill would also allow these immigrants to serve in the National Health Service Corps and join its scholarship and loan repayment programs, even if another law would require members to be U.S. citizens or nationals.
