   c.  The scholarship-in-exchange-for-service recipient and the commission shall enter into an agreement specifying the obligations of the applicant and the commission. If the nurse educator leaves the qualifying teaching position prior to teaching for four consecutive academic years, the nurse educator shall be liable to repay the scholarship-in-exchange-for-service amount to the state plus interest as specified by rule. However, if the nurse educator leaves the qualified teaching position involuntarily, the nurse educator shall be liable to repay only a pro rata amount of the scholarship based on incomplete years of service.
   d.  The receipt of a nurse educator scholarship-in-exchange-for-service shall not impact eligibility of an individual for other financial incentives including but not limited to loan forgiveness programs.
