09-10 hrsa nursing scholarship

Nurses General Nursing

Published

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 saw that on my profile as well. I freaked out and thought maybe somehow I hadn't completed everything afterall and will be disqualified.

I'm so done thinking about this. If it happens it happens. If not, I will still complete nursing school. I'll just have to work a little harder, that's all. I am 1 month away from being halfway done - I'm going to focus on that!

I feel he same way shannahan, we have to finish regardless!!!!! I'll be done in May!!!

I think all the applications have been reset. The due date has also changed to May 2010. The process begins again!!!

Congrats again to everyone that got the scholarship....and good luck to everyone reapplying next year!!

We are lucky to be in nursing school and even luckier to be counting down months instead of years!

And yes, congrats to all who receive it this year and good luck to all who apply next year!

My NSP Vitals status also now has "incomplete" for each category with a May 14, 2010 deadline when I click on the "status" twice. I did not receive any email. I have no idea what this all means, but since they have not contacted me throughout the entire process, and it is now past September 30th, I'm assuming that I was not selected this year. If I am selected at this point, I'll consider it a miracle.

If no one got a letter yesterday I would consider it safe to say that the Hrsa rep eithier lied to get us of their back for a few days or was utterly wrong when telling people that letters were sent out on the 30th.

I am trying to keep my hope up. does anyone know where the letters are being sent from? i am just surprised that we were told we would be notified by e-mail. they were last year... hopefully we hear something on monday

I know that the wait is super frustrating, and getting this scholarship would be like winning the lottery, but keep in mind, its a blessing. Its not something that any of us earned or are entitled to. The HRSA reps aren't given any info, and are probably flooded with calls, people on pins and needles. We just need to be patient, focus on Nursing school, which should be our true priority, and be hopeful. If Nursing is where you are supposed to be, it will all work out. If not this, then something else. Have faith and focus on becoming an AWESOME Nurse!

I am not particularly frustrated, and certainly know that getting this scholarship would be a blessing to all students who recieve it. I never believed that it was something that I was somehow entitled to. I just don't think that the reps given students false information is helping the situation. I think honesty would be the best answer. Maybe informing students that they are not sure would be best. I can't use the scholarship even if I was awarded it.( I rolled my acceptance to march) I am just excited to see all the other students who are blessed to get it. Because HRSA is helping students out (with our own tax dollars might I add) does not mean that we should not be provided with accurate information and not given award decisions by the due date without any notification.
