Nurse Corps Scholarship 2018-2019

Published

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.

Its seems like most of the nurses accepted so far had 4.0.and doing BSN or RN. Any way congratulation all of yo accepted.

For those of you who received notification of "finalists", did y'all have each document submitted labeled with name and ID number, and has anyone received an email notice of being eliminated or disqualified? My status as of this morning shown "under review"...waiting and praying!

I didnt. There was a huge discussion about this earlier on in this thread. I don't think they actually cared as long as there was some way to identify who you are.

Good to know, and Congratulations to you and all Finalists! I am checking my email frequently, and trying not to stress too much! It will be as it will be....but the waiting is SO hard! I have not seen any PMHNP awarded yet.

Congrats to all of the finalists! Does anyone know how long it takes before we know for sure and they begin payment? My tuition is due this week so obviously it wont be done by then! Do we just get reimbursed?

Here is my information for those that are interested.

Age: 25

GPA: 4.0 in current nursing program (not accelerated)/4.0 prereqs at the same institution

Undergrad GPA: 3.7

Program: Duquesne University Second Degree Accelerated BSN program; 3 semesters.

Previous degree: Bachelor's of Science in Psychology from Tulane University in New Orleans, LA

Program cost ~ $55,000

EFC:

Funding requested: technically 2 years because of how Nurse Corps does their fiscal year. It's from 8/27/18-6/30/19;7/1/19-8/2/19

Previous healthcare experience: have been working as a CNA at two local hospitals since October of 2016 with a brief interlude in 2017 when I broke my leg. At both hospitals I've worked on medical/surgical floors so really a mixed bag with all kinds of patients.

And no, my application did not have all of the proper identification on every page which gave me a mini heart attack after the fact.
