HRSA 2021-2022

Updated:   Published

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?

There were more openings earlier in the year. I know this link has some hospitals and eligible facilities. https://data.HRSA.gov/DataDownload/FRN/D_BCD_HPSA_H1_FederalRegister.pdf

I was wondering

has anyone gotten a rejection as of yet?

I think that would give me a better idea if theyre waiting to reject people more towards the end - and sending all the finalists their acceptances first. im really just kinda losing hope and would rather have an idea of if theyre just holding rejections off til after so I can kinda be ready for that =( or if anyone applied last year did the rejections come late?

No later than September 30, participants who were not selected will be notified. I would just say, be realistic with your self. If no one ran credit check on you by early to mid September than you probably aren’t / will not be selected. BUT, that is my OPINION. one thing for sure, you will get it no later than the 30th. I mean, In a perfect world, we would get the notifications prior but, it doesn’t really make sense, because if they start sending those out and then 199 people decide to decline or withdraw, what’s next. Doubt it would happen but still.

I haven't gotten an update, still says "under review". However, I received a credit check August 6, 2021. Anyone else in the same boat?

Same here! I would assume they wouldn’t hit our credits for no reason right?

Same. I really thought I'd be the first to get it, but I have no clue how their process works. It's too secretive for me. I haven't received anything. I wish someone could confirm if they've gotten a denial letter so far. I wish I knew about the VA scholarship earlier. I like that one better. I started applying, so hopefully I get it for Spring. The VA is also a federally accredited organization. I think their scholarship would boost your resume more as far as job hunting after grad. 

 

Still hoping for a miracle with Nurse Corp.

I read a statistic that Nursing is a major with one of the most scholarships available. Especially since COVID. It wouldn’t be too wise for someone to focus in on one of them as being the end all be all. I wish everyone the best of luck but, for those of us not sure what’s going on, it’s time to keep things pushing and looking for other alternatives. If this was your only game plan, it will definitely be harder to recover and keep pushing. Lesson learned I guess. I touch on this before, and it’s like so what if you’re low income. So what if you’re struggling. So what if you’re coming into it with a good GPA, because you’re not the only one. That’s why I always tell MYSELF.

The issue is not having only one game plan. The issue is that even though there may be all of these grants and scholarships available for nursing, are they openly discussed? The only reason I have the app Clubhouse is because I am a part of this nursing student group and all year they have been trying to come up with ways to pay for nursing school. They told us about Avenify, bartending, all of these different things, but no one even  mentioned the Nurse Corp scholarship. I learned about it from a close friend. Also, my nursing program had someone come in to speak to us about scholarships, again not one mention of the nurse corp scholarship or VA scholarship. They only mentioned the WIOA scholarship, ACT, Pell grant, the basics that most people regardless of degree are already aware of and doesn't even compare to what Nurse Corp or VA is offering.

I learned about the VA scholarship on here yesterday. This is not my first degree, but my first nursing degree. I have a lot to learn and I applaud you for having a backup plan, but due to minimal information that is put out there, some of us were really banking on the Nurse Corp. 

Also, feel free to list all of those scholarship options. Might help someone.

Good for you about exploring clubhouse! You have an unlimited amount of information available to you on the internet? Sometimes, in life, you might be put in a situation where you have to figure someone out on your own. No one owes you anything in life. But, you owe yourself, the time and energy needed to be or become what you want to be. Because look at it like this, I know 40-50 year olds that say, man, if only I had this or that and I would have did this or that. They felt like the deserved something special. There is a gap between races and socioeconomic status… it’s clear. The statistics can’t even be manipulated to hide that. But, people have to put the effort in and find creative ways to get this done. I think hard work and prayer, every day, will get the job done. 
 

I went to a poor and run down high school, In the inner city. I graduated college and every single one of my friends, did not. And they have every excuse, why. We did hit a lot of the same road blocks but, I kept fighting. Networking. Asking questions. Using Google. I found money for my last semester by going down to job and family services and asking to speak to a manager and telling my story. They knew of a program. Who would of thought to do that. I could have no graduated and blamed it on the lack of advertising. Because the scholarship I did get. I never even heard of it. 
 

VA, nurse corps, you know where you can find info about those programs? The internet. Not trying to sound mean or anything. But, use the internet, like everyone else will do or give up. No one will feel sorry for you, and like the millions of other folks that lack financially resources, you will blend in. 
 

use Google like your life depended on it. “top nursing scholarships” , “nursing scholarship programs” .. even loans (which you can apply for tribal jobs and they help you pay back)  and the scholarships that requiring an essay, those are real. 
 

I will not Google a bunch of different names and paste for you because you have the same internet.

that can be a good start for you. Just don’t feel sorry for yourself. (I) believe, My God, wants me to work hard, and I wasn’t create from a weak imagine, and my purpose is to make my God proud and I know, things will Always be OK. Help people when you can. But, only when they want to help themselves

 

I do not know you but I want you to be great.
