HRSA Scholarship

Have any of you applied for this scholarship and gotten it? It's a government scholarship, it pays all tution, fees, insurance plus a monthly stipend of just under 1100 a month. Great scholarship and I'm hoping to be able to apply for it. Their application deadline is before my school's acceptance letters are sent out so I'm going to try to contact them about a way to get around that. If any of you have applied for it have you dealt with this specific problem?

I looked at all this info as well. One thing I didn't see was whether or not you had to re-apply every year, or if there was a cap on how much they would pay for tuition. A couple of private schools are on my list of places to apply, and it would be too bad if they didn't qualify.

Luckily, I think I'd have a good shot at getting it, as I go full time, and have a EFC of 0. I'd at least be in the right pool for the first wave of awards.

I find it frustrating that the application deadline is well before many of the schools send out their acceptance letters, and they won't award retro-actively.

Any-hoo... good luck to all applying.
