Nurse Corps Scholarship 2018-2019

[DomoniqueH]

Hi Everyone, I'm planning to apply for the HRSA NurseCorp Scholarship this year. I figured I would go ahead and start the next thread for this award year. I'm currently finishing up some of my prereqs and will be starting my BSN program in June. I know the application date hasn't been released yet but from what I have seen on other threads, it should be opened sometime in March/April with a deadline in May. I've also read that the prompt questions have been the same from one award year to the next so I have begun working on them as well as trying to figure out who I would like to use as recommendations. I would love to hear from all who plan to apply this year.

So credit checks haven't even started, so it seems.

Hmmm.... seems like people waited 2 months last year. So almost!

Nope. I believe they are rounding up the other program before they begin the NURSE CORP scholarship program. At this point im so over it lol

[chic_mother]

That's true, the other scholarship seems to be settled and finalized before us. I'm over it too

Pg. 37 of the guidelines says notifications will start in late August and will continue through September. So sit tight and try not to stress.

Is there a thread on allnurses for the 2018-2019 NHSC scholarship? I couldn't find it through search. TIA!

[chic_mother]

Nope, I tried searching too, to see if I could see their updates...

Is anyone here applying for both scholarships that has some kind of update from the NHSC one?

[Moonpom]

I had a credco credit check in the middle of last month - nothing updated since then!

I follow on student doctor network. A couple people received emails that they were doing a second credit check on the 24th (they did one on the 16th), but that second credit check has not been run yet andnoone has heard anything. (This is for the NHSC scholarship).

[Moonpom]

Yep, I've been following that one too! Definitely hoping that we hear something soon. Thanks all!

[Robrtsjsara]

@moonpom did you apply for the nurse corps and scholarship?

[Moonpom]

Yep, for both! Fingers crossed for the scholarship í ½í¹í ¼í¿»í ¾í´ží ¼í¿»

So I just re-read the part in the application guide that any written off debt will make you ineligible for this award, i thought it was only federal debt but it says non-federal as well. I have one closed credit card account for $1200 that I got when I was 19 and didn't know what I was doing. I've paid everything else on time since then and never knew how to take care of it so I just left it alone. Is that something that could disqualify me? I didn't even consider it would be a problem until right now.
