MGH Institute of Health Professions

Hello Everyone,

I didn't apply for the scholarship, it was offered. When you apply to the school you are automatically considered for the scholarship. Like AlyRNtobe, I also got a phone call from the school saying I was accepted and also a recipient of the scholarship. I have yet to file for financial aid or anything. However, I will be going after that "free money" to make some things happen.

Mav, my letter came in a 5x7 envelope also. From what I could gather, the first round letter went out (obviously) and second round will be going out during the first week on Jan. I'm guessing they wanted to see who was going to accept their 'invite' to see how much space was available, then send out second round letters. Hopefully, you will be in that lucky group!!

My fingers are crossed for you!

AlyRNtobe,

Sorry I didn't see your comment till after I last posted. I got the scholarship but just applying to the school; everyone is considered. I received $15,000 to be distributed over the 3 semesters, which is $5,000 every semester. Considering the program is $12,000/semester, that leaves me having to compensate for the $7,000 that is left over as well as living expenses.

I can completely relate to not wanting to take out any private loans. I still have loans to pay off from my other undergraduate education. If anything I suggest looking into outside scholarships; I mean they have them for people who are left-handed!!

Where else did you get accepted, Mav?
