Nurse Corps Scholarship 2017-2018

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

I ended up declining my award. I hope that someone who needs it more than I do receives it :) Once again, good luck!

SaltsyBG, thanks so much for the clarification! I'd read both the NHSC and NURSE Corps program guidance, but didn't notice that key difference. Thank you!

Also, congrats to everyone who has gotten a finalist email, and good wishes to those still waiting--keep up hope :)

I have also declined my award over the weekend. Hopefully this will open up an opportunity for someone else!

Has anyone heard of someone getting the credit check but not getting the award? I got the Credco check back in July but still no email:(

Awards are distributed in waves. They have until the end of September to complete notifications for all applicants.

I know that, just curious if anyone has heard of someone getting a credit check and still not getting the award?

It's a mix of both. Basically the benefits of the program didn't outweigh other factors. I will be better off in the end and be able to make more money starting out in my area without being tied down to the service requirement.

I didn't realize you declined the offer too! Good luck to you.

Hey guys!!!

I got an email at 9:00am EST today that I'm a finalist!! I'm just started my first year in a 3 year grad entry (for non-nursing bachelor degree holders) MSN program for Family Nurse Practitioner. I'm so excited! Couldn't wait to post but have been busy at work all day at the hospital. The email is super confusing though. It's not a guarantee of an award it says but then tells me to accept my offer by August 21st.

so I was just wondering since you got the grant last year, when did they pay the tuition and if you had loans were they able to be sent back? In my school the summer term is mandatory and I did put July 1st, 2017 as the start of my school date. Would they pay for the summer term?

Will there be more forms to fill out such as for tuition.

For those of you who have recieved the scholarship email offer, what state are you in?
