2012-2013 HRSA Nursing Scholarship Application

Published

The application process hasn't even started yet but I didn't even find out about last year's scholarship until a couple days before the deadline. I did get my application in on time but was not fortunate enough to be a recipient. I intend to apply again for the upcoming scholarship. Any tips from those that were accepted? My EFC is 0, I'm in an undergraduate program, and my GPA is 3.4.

Hello I have been following this forum and noticed I never recieved a DCW form like all the applicants last year, I called HRSA and the lady was very UNhelpful she said just to wait till sept 30th and I will know if I missed the email. Did anyone on this forum recieve the DCW form in June that needed to be filled out by financial aid or did I just miss it somehow. Thanks for answering it makes me nervous that I missed it.

Thanks for the words of wisdom :) and I never received DCW form... I think that may only be required if your school has never participated before, I may very well be wrong though.

My credit was pulled!! I got free credit monitoring from HRSA bc there was some sort of breach in the security of my application so they sent me a letter stating they would pay for monitoring for 1 yr in case someone tried to steal my identity. Im sure no one will steal my identity bc I have bad credit but atleast I knew right away when they ran it for the purposes of the scholarship :)

How are you all seeing inquiries on your credit? I registered for credit karma and freecreditscore and don't see any inquiries at all. There usually are some when I checked other credit sites but my free memberships to those are expired. Any specific place I should be looking?

Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone!

This is an old question, but I was wondering if anyone knows if the "Supporting Documents" section of our applications were received by the scholarship program. I noticed that it did not show up after submitting my application. I had an important document under that section and I am hoping that they received it. Thanks :)

Mine was checked 7/16. St3phanoo, as far as I know the document may or may not have been received. You could always try calling them and ask.

Experian or equifax. You could sign up for a free trial, but from the reviews I've read online, they are set up to "trap" you and will charge you even after canceling. You could always check your credit for free via annualcreditreport.com, or through the aforementioned companies (equifax/experian) for free if you meet the stipulations in the fcra -- being denied credit in the last 60 days, seeking employment (I think), etc. Hope that helps, and good luck to you.

To the earlier post from St3PHanOO about the supporting documents, this is what I know. I uploaded a few different things under the supporting documents tab, and became a little worried when after I submitted the application I did not see it. I called the support line and asked to see if they had received those documents. I was told that they are unable to see what we have submitted, just that they see it is all there. She went on to say that I should not worry. That HRSA knows that after we submit the application the "supporting documents" do not show up for us to see, but that they do get whatever was uploaded under that tab. She said it is a technical error. At first I thought she might be just telling me something I wanted to hear, but since I have heard of others having the same problem, it seems to be true. I just have my fingers crossed, and hope that they got everything I sent.

I received a credit inquiry on 7/19 from "Factual Data". Does anybody else show the same description? I did some searching on-line and it appears that this company usually does credit checks for mortgage companies/lenders. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I also have credit karma- I just signed up to see if I had been checked! I don't see where it lists who has looked at your credit... Any help?
