HRSA/Nurse Corps Scholarship is now OPEN!

I am applying - who else is? Anyone received the scholarship and have tips? Would love to get this and ditch the loans I've applied for! I'm starting an ABSN program in May. Here we go!

Well if you figure 2000+ people applying and around 250 receiving the scholarship the average GPA for acceptance has to be way up there! And I will for sure be applying, good luck to all!

I am applying! This would be a dream come true. The application process is long and tedious, but I'm slowly getting it all submitted. I have a 4.0 GPA and I'm a loooooow income single mom. Hoping they will give me a shot.

They first look at efc, I think that eliminates a lot of applicants right off the bat. The paperwork is very tedious, but I have working on it on spring break this week- hoping to be done with it so I dont stress the deadline.

What is all of this discussion about first funding preference? I'm pretty sure for this year they did away with that and it is just the 0-5500 EFC bracket now...

I applied. Oh, I so hope I get it!! This would be incredibly helpful. Does anyone know when they will be making decisions?

From what I have read accepted applicants will hear by the end of August, those who do not get accepted the end of September. I am guessing the do no notify denials right away in case those who are accepted choose not to utilize the program.
