NURSE Corps Scholarship 2016-2017

I started to fill out my application today. I've been accepted into an accelerated 12 month program for my BSN. The application keeps wanting me to put a second year though I won't be in school for a second year... On that same page at the bottom it states "required Enter your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) as indicated on your Complete Official Student Aid Report" - I've never done this report. Should I do this through my school or online? Good luck!

This is the fafsa, you do it online and after you submit it you get a report with ur EFC.

I started my application also, although I only have about 8 months left of school, I'm out of financial aid and getting this scholarship would be just awesome.

based on the guidance document, pages 7-8, it seems that they have historically only offered the scholarship to people with an efc below $5,000.

can other folks confirm that reading of the guidance?

I have read this as well. I know historically through other forums, those that have received it typically have close to $0

Yes I've heard this as well and I even read in another feed that so many people apply, that most of the time they only grant it to people with 0

I'm in the process of applying now. I have one letter being submitted soon and I haven't submitted my essays yet just because I want to make sure they're perfect! Does anyone want to share their stats? Good luck to everyone!

Hello,

I started my application in March...last year's group of accepted students heard a positive reply as early as August...I hope that we are luckier and hear sooner than that.

Hi everyone,

I am also patiently waiting on the nurse corps scholarship to process my application. I have a bachelors degree of psychology, and an ASN in nursing. I am currently enrolled in the bridge MSN family nurse practitioner program at George Washington University. My bridge course started a few weeks ago and my matriculation date for my nurse practitioner program starts at the end of August. I have an estimated EFC of 0, a nursing GPA of 3.86 and an overall GPA of 3.4. I will keep everyone posted if I see any updates to my account. Is there anyone attending a nurse practitioner program that has applied?
