HRSA Nurse Corps Scholarship 2020-2021

Published

I havent seen a thread yet on this year's nurse corps application cycle & my anxiety has made me start one. I'm finishing up my application and should be done with it by today. I know its extremely competitive so honestly I dont think I'll get it but its worth a try! Who else has applied/is applying?

The explanation of having different people going through them and tiering the applicants based on basic criteria first makes sense. . .but I most definitely meet the basic criteria so I guess I'm just still confused - my EFC is 0, single with 4 children, I'm half-way through a ABSN program with a 3.75 (nursing school is no joke, and especially during COVID!) and I have 20 years of experience volunteering including Americorps. I'm trying to remain positive, and I am truly happy for all you amazing students who have reached the first level - schooling is difficult to begin with but the added stress of financing your education and paying bills while in school just tops it off. Good luck all!

I mean, you sound like the ideal candidate to me! Keep your head up!

Hey all,

hope you have been staying safe and healthy!! I am a finalist for the program and now in the middle of figuring out W-4. Since the time I sent in my application to now, my address has changed..including the state. Does this mismatch raise a red flag for them? Since the scholarship is tax deductable and every state has different tax rates I am worried that the difference is addresses on my application and now on my W-4 will affect my standing. If anyone has any insight on this, please let me know! I did try to call them and the person I talked to didn't seem very sure about her answer. thank you :))

I needed help with my forms and got in-touch with this lady who’s like a department head and she told me I’m in Tier 1.

Are you going for your bachelors? I think that’s what it was referred to in the guidance document, in which case I’m right there with ya!

Thank you for answering quick! I have my bachelors but not in nursing. I have a bachelors in health management that I obtain last year in December. So this will be my second bachelors degree. My EFC is 0. I do not qualify for FAFSA. I’m a mom to 3 kids all under 5 years old and my youngest is 5 months. I just don’t know what to do! ? I have no choice but to apply for a federal loan and private loan. I start nursing school in 13 days. If I didn’t get it.... then I would like to know NOW so I can put my anticipation to rest. I feel like it’s a lottery application. Does anyone think so?

Definitely not a lottery application
