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.

Has anyone had a credit check at this point? Not sure how much later things will kick off this year considering the later application cycle. Thanks.

Not yet. I figure that since last year's first round of checks happened around the 15th, then we'll see some around then or after. I'm not sure what the timeline is for this year since it's later than last.

Wishing and praying for the best for everyone.

What exactly do they look for on your credit?

If you've defaulted on any federal loans.

Ok, I thought so. I'm pretty sure all of my past student loans are up to date.

Has anyone heard back? I called to see when we should know and the rep said we should be getting an email back within a few days.

Any federal defaults including FHA Mortgages and federal loans and child support.

I haven't heard anything as of yet. My application also still says "under review"

Mine still says "under review" as well. Last Friday I called and spoke with someone and he stated that "Finalists" should start being notified sometime in August. My nerves are a wreck! I'm praying we all get it!

How do you check your application status?

Really? No I haven't heard anything. Now I'm nervous!!

So I just called them and the women I spoke to said we'll know before September 30th. This is what last year's applicants said about how you call and everyone gets a different answer. Ugh!! I'm hopeful though.
