Nurse Corps Scholarship 2017-2018

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

Hi everyone,

I am interested in applying to the nurse corps scholarship 2017 2018 in order to pay for my accelerated program of sixteen months. I have a bachelors in sociology. I have done quiet a few researches. The application cycle will be open this month but I don't know which exact date. I have read discussion threads of previous years and have found really helpful information. I want to create a platform where interested applicants can ask questions, share information, discuss and help each other.

Thanks

What does the application status change to after "under review?" Does it ever change to denied?

Not until after the application cycle ends on 9/30. They do notifications in waves. The notify a group and give them 72 hours to accept/decline and submit the proper documents. When that 72 hours is up they notify the next batch and so on and so forth until all the funds are accepted. I got my offer on 7/26 and my contract wasn't completed until 8/31, some people were not offered until the first week of September.

Question for all - which transcript did you submit? I submitted my undergraduate transcript, since I was told to submit the transcript where I was awarded my undergraduate degree. However, I took most of my prereqs post grad and had a 4.0 in all of them, so I'm bummed they don't have those grades too!

I thought this was so confusing as well! I haven't completed a degree or program yet so I called and was told to send it from the school I was at before the one I'm currently at. I already started a BSN program so I had classes in progress at a University but sent the transcript from my community college that I transferred from. Hopefully I did it right.... I didn't really ever feel like the representatives confidently answered my questions when I called... it seemed kinda like they were guessing just as much as I was!!! Haha

Did you read the Application and Program Guidance pdf? It clearly explained which transcript to upload based on where you are in your program:

"Applicants must submit an official or unofficial transcript from the most recently

completed undergraduate or graduate academic institution/program attended (or

high school, if applicable) if you have not completed one full academic term in the

program for which you are seeking NURSE Corps Scholarship Program funding. If you

have completed at least one undergraduate or graduate academic term, then submit

a transcript from your current institution. Otherwise, a complete high school

transcript should be submitted. The uploaded transcript must be legible and include

the applicant's school name, courses taken, grades received for each course, and

cumulative Grade Point Average."

I saw that but I hadn't completed the semester at the time that I applied, which is why I had to go with the old one. Thanks for taking the time to provide clarification, though!

Well, I haven't started a BSN program. I have a BA in math and took most of my nursing courses post grad. The response to my help ticket request (or whatever it is) stated the completed undergraduate degree transcript, not post-grad courses. It just seemed odd, considering the amount of people who go back to school for nursing as a second degree and take pre reqs after their original degree. If anything, they probably should have just requested all transcripts.

Hello all, what is the purpose of the credit checks?

Hello all, what is the purpose of the credit checks?

To verify that you are not defaulted on any Federal Funding obligations ie. FHA mortgages, student loans etc.
