Any HRSA 2015 Applicants?

Published

Hello nurses. I completed my associates degree in 2012 and just completed my BSN in December. I have decided to apply for the HRSA nursing loan repayment program this year in hopes that I will qualify and at least be considered in their awards. A fellow co-worker was awarded two years ago while working at the same hospital that I work at, so I decided it wouldn't hurt to try! I have started my application, but I am still waiting for my official diploma and/or transcripts from my BSN to prove completion of the program before I can move forward past the verification of schools and degrees portion of the application. I have done a lot of research and it seems to be a pretty lengthy application, but if awarded it will definitely be worth it. Anyone started the process or have any suggestions for those of us who are applying this year? Thank you fellow nurses!

I'm still waiting too. My status says "under review" as well which I hope is a good thing? I doubt it though. Everything I've read it's about late June early July when you hear something.

I'm just so nervous, but keep me posted if you hear anything. Fall grad where do you plan on going to school?

My score was 18 but I also had a disadvantaged background letter completed heard that greatly achieves your chances

If you don't mind me asking who completed the letter and what could it say? I did not add this but if I do not receive it this go around would really like to add a disadvantaged letter, it did not really go into detail on what to do if you are considered disadvantaged. Any info would help, crossing my fingers over here but this is my second go around and am not a NP so not too hopeful:(

I had the financial aid department from where I received my bachelors degree to write this letter for me. After I did this and submitted my application I found out that there is actually a form to submit to your school but they took my letter without any problems. My letter said that my expected family contribution was 0
