HRSA Nurse Corps Scholarship 2020-2021

[chelsea21]

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?

If you’re signed up for credit monitoring it’ll send a notification when someone checks your credit. In this case it was a hard inquiry and it says charles schwab bank and was checked today. I never heard of this bank a day in my life

That makes sense. I have not heard of that bank either. I’d keep an eye on that for sure. The one I read a while ago didn’t not have the term “bank” in it. It was just something random, I forget what it was. If you look in 2019-2020 forum though you may be able to find it or what applicants wrote in about it regarding credit checks in the later pages. Good luck!!

Charles Schwab is the 14th largest banking institution in the US.

Can you go on a credit website and see if you have a new inquiry. Credit karma is a free site that you can use

Are they only checking for defaults or is the amount you owe part of the decision making?

[MomNurse2021]

Just defaults. I highly doubt that they have read all of our essays let alone begin credit checks LOL

Did anyone apply as an accelerated BSN applicant? That’s my scenario. Just wondering if they’ve selected them previously. I heard someone else in my program also applied.

I did! I’m attending Drexel for their ACE program in the fall. What about you? I heard a girl from Moravian’s ABSN received the scholarship a few years ago.

Congratulations! I’m attending Stockton’s program. That’s good to hear!

I also received an “unwarranted” hard inquiry on Friday the first. It was from Credco. I applied in April 15th. Hopefully that’s a positive sign and not some kind of identity theft. ? ?
