Scholarship recipients who fail to fulfill the obligation described in paragraph (3) of subsection (a) of Section 2003 shall pay to the Department an amount equal to 3 times the amount of the annual scholarship grant received for each unfulfilled year of the obligation together with interest at 7% per year on that amount. However, this obligation to repay does not apply when the failure to fulfill the obligation results from involuntarily leaving the profession due to a decrease in the number of health care professionals employed in the State or from the death or adjudication as incompetent of the person holding the scholarship. No claim for repayment may be filed against the estate of such a decedent or incompetent.
     Each person applying for such a scholarship shall be provided with a copy of this Section at the time he or she applies for the benefits of such scholarship.
