09-10 hrsa nursing scholarship

Nurses General Nursing

Published

Hello all,

I'm starting this thread for the new applicants for the hrsa nursing scholarship 09-10. Tor prettylady, I think its a random selection. Its the luck of the draw.

Specializes in PICU, OB/GYN.

I believe the letters are coming from Baltimore. So, if sent out on the 30th, then it should take at least a week for the info to arrive. I am thinking they will come on Wednesday...

Yeah, I am sure some letters would take a week or so...But I usually get mail in two maybe three business days TOPS. I just think it is weird that nobody recieved notification via mail yet. I could be wrong, maybe most people who post here live closer to the west coast...Again, good luck to everyone who are waiting to hear!

I live in mass, so it wouldnt take very long to get here. and thank you for saying what u did Toya. it is sad that some people really needed to know if they got this scholarship in order to be in school this year. And i am fusterated because the rep i spoke with said recipients would get an email that day (wednesday). she said if i didnt get the email then i probably didnt get the scholarship. its not right to give false info. they had said we would be notified in september.... its now october. they could have emailed everyone to say their notifications would be late, it would have been considerate. i dont feel entitled to the scholatship, but i do feel that they should stick to what they said. i need to plan my finances, ask for more hours at work if i need to. can u even get an increase in loans at this point? i am a single mom, i have more than just me to worry about with all this, and i just expected to know ya or nay by now.

Thanks Mistydale13 for understanding where I am coming from. I am not trying to bash HRSA because I do think the scholarship is a great program and does a lot of good. I just think things should be handled a little better when people lives are involved. Some people are not in a situation where they can get other funding. I think it's fair to ask to be given accurate information and some type of notification if they are going to be late on providing decisions.

i live 15 miles from baltimore and nothing yet. i think this HRSA system is so complicated that they cant just crank out decisions, notifications, emails, etc. like we might want them to. remember, this is big government at work here and they deal with billions of dollars everyday. if we do get this (and i still have hope) it will truly be a gift from GOD. if not, we will figure it out, persevere and become great nurses. i think the reps are just overworked underpaid folks that maybe be each given different rules (maybe everyday) on how to handle these callsthey get from us. email, no email, regular mail, etc. lets just continue to hang in there and see how this week pans out. i wont officially give up hope until november. :) now, time to study; yall have a good night.

i hear ya...losing it right there with you...not in the mail today. i get all excited that a day has passed so i can go check the mail, and then NOTHING...then i come here, hoping no one else got it today either and hoping i don't read someone got it and maybe that means i didnt...i try to be like when it comes it comes and if it doesn't, oh well, I'm still gonna finish nursing school...but it sure would make things a WHOLE lot easier!!! praying for you guys and me to at least have an answer soon.

Congrats Mistydale!!! I am so happy for you! It makes me feel better that someone else was contacted (I felt odd getting a phone call when no one else had). Still no letter for me either (I am in California), hope everyone gets a nice surprise in the mail soon!!

to the ladies that received the calls, could you please tell us if you have caller id, does the call come through identified...not an unknown number or anything like that?

yes, there was a phone number. i believe 308 number? she already had my bank info, just had a number off the routing number.
