They said you have to fill out a financial aid form (FAFSA) which I thought the ADN students weren't eligible for plus a scholarship application. Going to try for it after the holiday!

the adn is not eligible for federal money, but excelsior utilizes the fafsa to determine if you are eligible for one of their scholarships. they have 3 disbursements periods. august, december and i cant remember the last one you can send an email or call the financial aid dept. i submitted my fafsa app in aug and i just received an award email and i am applying it toward my cpne. good luck and happy holidays!!

Good luck! I called them and asked about their review process. They laughed at me and told me that I can afford to pay $34,000 in tuition per year.
Congrats to those who get them!!!! Excuse my negativity.. Just experiencing some anger towards Excelsior at the moment!

I'm confused. What did the email say? The reason I'm asking is because...I did get an email about 2 weeks ago; but it was informing me that I recieved a scholarship for 500 dollars. So, I logged on to MyEC and accepted. It did not mention anything about the CPNE at all. I just re-read the original email to make sure.
