HRSA 2021-2022

[almost_A_nurse]

I haven't seen anyone start a thread about applying for this year's HRSA scholarships. I am waiting to see if I am accepted into a school in IL (fingers crossed!) and then I am going to start my application process for HRSA. The program I am applying to is a 16 months ABSN that starts in august! what about you all?

Have you been accepted some where yet? Still in the application process? Already started the Scholarship application?

I believe you can unsubscribe from them! If I’m remembering correctly, there may have been a box to check if you didn’t want those emails! I haven’t gotten any either.

Hopefully, we hear back soon. Last year, I got my denial letter in September 17. It’d be nice to hear back sooner!

 

May I ask what is different from this year as far qualifications. In other words what is different from last year. I hope you get it this year. I’m asking because I don’t know anyone that was denied the scholarship

The only difference that I noticed this year that was a big change was the program requiring three essays as opposed to two this year. And also how they said they had increased funding! I can’t even remember if the deadline was extended. But thank you, same to you and everyone else in here!
And yeah the email was actually very short and brief but I had heard a lot of people saying they were finalists by the time I got the email (reading the forum and knowing people who received it). But the latest someone I personally know heard back about finalist status was in August!  
My EFC was higher last year, more than the first tier threshold, and I definitely think that played a part in my overall application. Now, I’m in the range for the first tier!
