09-10 hrsa nursing scholarship

Acestudent21 · Oct 19, 2009

I did receive a finalist email in Sept. and as most of you did I replied with a fax. I live in Nebraska. I did move and called the call center to change my address, and they told me not to worry about it til further correspondence which is why I think it is taking longer to receive any type of notification. Correct me if I'm wrong, I think someone received a letter in California. I have no idea, maybe they have a method to this madsness. Also, I agree that the process may not be completely random, because it would benefit the gov't to accept those with the least amount of schooling left or less expensive tuition (this way they can give away more scholarships).

I didn't get further contact from them i.e. bank information. But there are others in this group who have received only the email and no further contact but got acceptance letters in the mail. Some individuals living in Southern California have received acceptance letters.

I noticed that some people have been contacted without receiving any notification between the email in September and the acceptance letter this past week. I wonder what is going on for those of us who have not received letters yet. I wonder if some were selected as alternates, and they are waiting for some sort of correspondence back from the finalists. It would make sense though for them to already figure out all of the finalists because that would have been the point of the email. I do not know what to expect! I know I could really use this scholarship...as we all could. Good luck to everyone, and congratulations to those that already have been notified as a finalist. Much easier said than done, but in the end, this struggle will be worth it for all of us. Hoping for good news this week!

i just noticed this on the website they say they normally give out 180 scholarships total and if you take that and divide it by the 50 states it averages to basically each state awarding3.6 roughly 4 people each state i wish i was aware of the numbers before i had applied. oh well all things work together for Good for those that trust in the Lord.

runner4life123,

i did not receive an finalist/alternate email. i may be wrong but it seems to me that those that did not get an email, did not have a chance of receiving the scholarship, and (at least so far), those that did receive the email, did receive the scholarship. i hope that all those that received an email are awarded their scholarship soon! :)

Hello Everyone! FYI: I received an acceptance e-mail (YAY!! Thank God!) Am in my junior year of a BSN program, from Mississippi, and no correspondence between the finalist e-mail and my acceptance letter! Good luck to all still waiting!

Congratulations khervey! It must be a huge relief!

I'm surprised they are using multiple ways to notify ppl. Was the email from Brenda?

Sorry I had a typo it was a letter in the mail, not an e-mail! Sorry!

Has anyone receive a rejection letter that received an email in September?

Also, Khervey, when did you receive your acceptance letter? Congrats!

Acestudent21 · Oct 19, 2009

Hello everyone I received my letter today as well! It was postmarked for Oct. 13th. :yeah:What a sigh of relief. I hope those of you that are still waiting receive your letters soon. Again I attend school in Nebraska, and only received a finalist email between May and Now!
