I actually do not know. The last cycle open in March and the deadline was in May according to the program guidance booklet for 2021-2022. I, unfortunately, start nursing school in January, so I will be taking out a loan before I even apply for the scholarship.

good luck! are you doing anything extra to increase your chances of getting the scholarship? I want to do some volunteering but I don't know where. I feel like volunteering in an underserved community would help...

Thanks, you too! I do have some volunteering hours during my undergrad, so I don't see why not. Definitely take any opportunity you can and that would help you. I think it would be a great idea if you could find one in an underserved community.

You would only get one month of funding so definitely not worth the 2-year service commitment. The scholarship goes from July of every year. You also don't find out that you get it until September. I am a 2021 recipient for reference.

The contract for funding for school runs from July 1 to June 30th every year. That means funding begins on July 1. If you are awarded the scholarship, you find that out in September/October time and they back pay from July 1 going forward. Therefore, you will only get your school paid for during July-August so only one month of payment. I would NOT accept this scholarship for only one month of payment (or even a semester). It is not worth the service commitment of two years. 

 

I will say, I began school in May of 2021 and was awarded the scholarship in September/October. They back paid for my Summer semester (May-August) but you do not receive the living stipend for months previous to July. I'm not sure if they are going to do that moving forward since the contract year is from July forward.

If my program runs from Sept 29th 2022 to Sept 20th 2023, and I somehow was approved for Nurse Corp Scholarship, would I only receive funding for Sept 29 thru June 30th and then I would be on my own for July/Aug/Sept (through the end of my program)?

I appreciate any advice and thank you for starting this thread.
