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.
I have been checking my email and refreshing it religiously. I just want to know already whether good or bad...hopefully good though lol! I have this weird nightmare-paranoia that maybe emails went out already and none of us received them so obviously didn't post on here because none of us are finalists. What a scary thought! Hopefully tomorrow is the day! :) I looked over last year's NCSP thread and finalists received emails between 5 and 6pm. Apparently NHSC received theirs in the morning so we can hear word at any minute it seems.
Well, my understanding is that a credit check does not ensure an offer but if there was no credit check then that indicates the individual is NOT a finalist. I'm not an expert. I'm just waiting with baited breath like everyone else. Have any of the Loan Repayment Applicants gotten award emails yet??? I thought they'd have gone out yesterday. *sigh*

There were people that got offers last year but reported no credit check. There are no black and white answers. A credit check is a good sign but it's not a signed contract or a denial letter.

I looked and it looks like only nurse faculty have received awards for the loan repayments. I think it's all just a little behind this year
I am really hoping we'll hear something back tonight. During the last cycle, it took about 11 days between the credit check and the first wave of finalist email notifications. A credit check on 7/24 + 11 days puts us at today. Hoping for good news. Also... I could totally be wrong lolol

Well, I'm just going off what HRSA says (they say it will, for sure, happen as part of the application process). I guess I assumed that not everyone checked all 3 of their credit bureaus when saying there was no credit check. It's hard for me to imagine they'd miss something so key to the application process BUT it IS the govt - so who knows. I really, really wish they'd send out those emails!

I'm just saying people reported not having one that they saw on their report. Whether it was done or not is a mystery. I agree that it seems odd that HRSA wouldn't do one. My point is that it's not over until it's over. So I just don't want people who aren't seeing a check to get disheartened. Because everyone is still in the game.
I remember in my cycle trying to figure everything out because I think I thought maybe it would help the stress. This is a really hard process. I think its normal to look for any answer we can find. I hope you guys start hearing soon!

I'm starting to believe this, what if none of us are finalists
