Has anyone recieved one???? Ive applied to U of P and a few others but the wait is killing me!!!!! I recieved a letter RE: providence scholarship Interview and i was lucky to recieve one!! but i havent heard from U of P yet :confused:

so just wondering about others, let me know and GOOD LUCK!!!!!

My sister just moved back up here from that area. It is nice down there. But I am a Portland girl. It's hard to imagine living anywhere else since my family is here and I want my kids to grow up with family around.

I can definitely understand that--family's important. The only big reason I'd want to stay in California is that my family is all around here, including my little sister....considering I went to college in Ohio, though, Oregon still seems pretty close by. And my sister only has a couple of years before college herself, so who knows, she might end up in the Pacific Northwest with me. I've always really liked Portland (and the other areas of Oregon I've visited), so I'm excited about the move!

Didn't get anything in the mail!

Will say one of my co workers who just graduated from this program started feeling the hit! This was her first paycheck where she started paying the taxes on the scholarship, $796 per check! OUCH, but worth every penny!

I thought I read somewhere on here that if you get the scholarship there is extra money on your check so that you weren't really the one paying that? Are the checks biweekly or monthly?

As far as the mailman coming later, last year around letter time he went from coming a noon to coming at closer to five or six at night!

Oh no, you are the one paying the taxes back! Checks are bi-weekly. I know there is a tax code used but it's the money you earned, she said her check was about as much as it used to be before she was a nurse (I think she was a CNA). 3 years of this and she will be debt free from school and be with a wonderful organization! I love working for Providence. :)

smASH this, I may be misunderstanding your reply, but something does not seem right with the math on the taxes for the scholarship. If the nurse is paying 796 dollars twice a month over three years, that comes out to about 57,000 dollars in taxes. I am also interviewing on the 20th, and if that is the amount of taxes we have to pay, I may as well take a loan out.

My co-worker said this was her first check where it was taken out and that it will be the same amount taken out until August 2012. My mistake on a total of (3 years) 2 years and 6 months.... more like it. Either way it's a lot and something to think about. It kind of put a nudge in my stomach hearing that! She had told me last month she thought it was going to be around 400 a paycheck....which would still be a hit, but managable.
