Hello all,

I'm starting this thread for the new applicants for the hrsa nursing scholarship 09-10. Tor prettylady, I think its a random selection. Its the luck of the draw.

I think the ppl who answer the phones aren't all that informed. They give the generic answers to keep you pacified and off the phone lines. Don't worry--I think more ppl will get awards.

I just called them and the guy said they have not awarded anyone yet and that they will Prob do it this weekend.

Deevee, really this weekend? I didn't know govt workers work on the weekend.

Also, isn't it interesting how we get different responses ea time someone phones?

Yup that's what he said. I felt like he was just guessomg though.

OK, just got off the phone with HRSA, they said "Not all the applicants who are receiving awards have been notified yet." oh please, oh please........watching my email like a hawk!

I'm confued...I was one of the few who got the email on Tuesday, asking me to respond with a "yes" or "no". BUT, I have not gotten any final word of acceptance. The email that I did recieve makes me hopeful, but it did, however, explicitly state that it still was not a guarantee of being awarded.

Has anyone who got the email on Tuesday gotten anymore coorespondance from HRSA????????

I am pretty sure they say "not a guarantee" because after your acceptance there are steps like credit checks and verifying school records/acceptance that need to be done, so it just covers them if for some reason they have to deny you.

Yeah, I understand this. I'm just wondering if anyone who got that email has gotten their "final" acceptance yet, or maybe any additional correspondance. Anyone, anyone, anyone?

Hi,

I also got the email tuesday and faxed in my response. I have yet to hear back. I don't know if this has been asked already but I was wondering what qualifies as "In exchange for at least two years service at a health care facility with a critical shortage of nurses". How do you find out which facilities qualify?

Thanks
