Section 100. Breach of contract

The following may constitute a breach of contract:

1. The recipient fails to complete his nursing studies;

2. The recipient fails to begin or complete the term of obligated service under the terms and conditions of the scholarship contract;

3. The recipient falsifies or misrepresents information on the program application, the verification of employment forms, or other required documents; or

4. The recipient's employment is terminated for good cause as determined by the employer and confirmed by the department. If employment is terminated for reasons beyond the participant's control (e.g., closure of site), the participant shall transfer to another site approved by the board in the Commonwealth within six months of termination. Failure of the participant to transfer to another site shall be deemed to be a breach of the contract.

In the event of a breach of contract and in accordance with the terms of the contract, the recipient shall make default payments as described in 12VAC5-510-30. In the event of a breach of contract where the recipient has partially fulfilled his obligation, the total amount of reimbursement shall be prorated by the proportion of obligation completed.
