   Wishing you the best! Can’t wait to hear if you got your top choice (I bet you did)!

2. VA HPSP 2020 - Scholarship Award Updates?

   MelissaM1378 replied to NP_hopeful19's topic in NP Students

   I don’t graduate until May 2022 so I definitely haven’t heard. Although, I did get approved for clinical rotations at the local VA (which is where I hope to ultimately land). Have you been in contact with your top choice VAs? I would assume y...

   Congratulations! We made it!

4. VA HPSP 2020 - Scholarship Award Updates?

   MelissaM1378 replied to NP_hopeful19's topic in NP Students

   Hi, yes, they most likely did that so they can just select from the “alternates” without allowing anyone else to apply. Unfortunately, we must sit and wait until October but I think we have an excellent chance at being selected based on past candida...

   There was a generic comment about our status being updated automatically if we get accepted later and something about more funding in October. I don’t know anything beyond that. Your situation sounds ideal, though! Thanks!

   @2011MSN Did you receive alternate status in June/July then October passed and it wasn’t until the following July you heard? Or, you heard not long after you received your alternate status?

   I’m “alternate” also. Let’s hope for $$ funding in October.

8. VA HPSP 2020 - Scholarship Award Updates?

   MelissaM1378 replied to NP_hopeful19's topic in NP Students

   @NP_hopeful19 Funny, I wake up every morning, check my e-mail and think, “Okay, this is great. He’s supposed to call with good news and e-mail bad news.” But, I’m also anxious. I’m guessing we should hear something by next week? ** I think it might...

   I was told they would make exceptions. Don’t give up hope. How long do you have to finish your program?

10. VA HPSP 2020 - Scholarship Award Updates?

    MelissaM1378 replied to NP_hopeful19's topic in NP Students

    Yes, non-VA employees must be FT; VA employees can be PT; however, he said they’d make exceptions. There is fine print when directed to one of the other sites. I am hoping for news soon, too! I hope to see us all on the selection list.

    MelissaM1378 replied to NP_hopeful19's topic in NP Students

    Did you receive an e-mail update the first week of June? -------------------------- stated the board was being convened the following week and the board had 30 days to send results back to his “office.“ So, with that said, I am guessing mid-July. I ...

    MelissaM1378 replied to NP_hopeful19's topic in NP Students

    Also—maybe no news is good news? I read in other posts that recipients were called if they got selected. I applied for PMHNP also. Good luck to us both! Melissa

13. VA HPSP 2020 - Scholarship Award Updates?

    MelissaM1378 replied to NP_hopeful19's topic in NP Students

    Hi—I also applied and have been anxiously awaiting results. Based on the update I received, it looks like the board has until mid-July to post award recipient results. So, it could be any day or a few weeks.

14. HPSP VA Nursing Scholarship 2019

    MelissaM1378 replied to Kirsten81774's topic in General Nursing

    Best wishes! Ironically, yesterday I received an e-mail updating applicants that the board should meet next week and have up to a month to submit their selections for my desired scholarship (PMHNP). So, probably July for mine. I don’t have an interv...

    @Kirsten81774 Do you mind sharing when you were notified of your selection? I applied in April and am curious how long I will be waiting for the results. Thanks!
