I thought I would start a thread for those who have applied, do that we can keep each other posted on what is going on with the process. Also here to promote tons of positivity for everyone.

Hello everyone, I have been reading comments on here since I submitted my application (months ago) just to see what the rest of the world was doing regarding this scholarship. I have EFC of 0 and currently enrolled in a 20 month Associate RN program, with 7 months to go.

I told a friend about this scholarship and she got a letter today, the letter was stamped 9/17 and the envelope was marked 9/19. I think it came from the department of health and human services, in blue writing, it said congratulations (in the letter, not the envelope) but gave little information regarding when the cash would be dispersed...we all know thats the important part.

Just thought I would share, good luck everyone.

Oh yea......no letter for me today!!

I got an email this morning (the same one carebear got) saying I got the scholarship!!! I was literally screaming in my car and calling everybody I knew. Now I can stop stalking the mailman (I know he'll be glad)!! Good luck to everyone...I hope there are more posts today and lots more get it!!:yeah::yeah:

[cenedradRN]

Hey carebear I think maybe you should take that actual email down...I'm not being mean but with everyone waiting on pins and needles about this scholarship I can only imagine her office being flooded with phonecalls because all of her info is on there..just a heads up.

On a side note on the changing the contact information theory, I can still change mine, so I guess thats not a giveaway, in fact nothing on my log-in has changed.

[abdavisRN]

Does anyone know if the people that got a letter also got the email? IS THERE ANY HOPE!?! ;-)

[kbianca8]

congratulations to everyone who got the scholarship..especially to Hillarypeace.. I did not get the email..yet :heartbeat:heartbeat

to those of you who got it..did all of you got an email way back asking if the tuition is out of state/in state? thanks! good luck..

[flbeau]

I did get the e-mail way back on July 24th. Remember you're not out of the running, some people will turn it down maybe they didn't get accepted to nursing school or plans changed. They have seven days to decline in writing. Good luck!

It seems like they are giving a lot of scholarships this year. that is great! I'd be interested to see out of the people with 0 EFC how many get them.

Congratulation all. I got it 2 years ago and it really helps.
