I just submitted my application to the Nurse Corps Scholarship, I just found out about this a few months ago anyone have any advice or tips? I am most worried by my SAI number. It is within the range but its on the upper end more than lower.
Apply to the Nurse Corps Scholarship Program
You are eligible if you:
Are a U.S. citizen (born or naturalized), a national, or a lawful permanent resident

Why should you apply?
If you receive an award, you'll get a monthly stipend—and they'll pay your
tuition;
eligible fees;
reasonable costs (includes books, clinical supplies/instruments, and uniforms).
I just got off the phone and they really don't tell you much. They tell you the same thing your portal says, that you're under review. She also said if we don't hear anything by tomorrow that it's safe to assume we are not being awarded this year.
Someone else said this but the rep I talked to said they award up until the 30th 😕
I called this morning as well and she wouldn't tell me anything.
I applied to both the Nurse Corp and the NHSC scholarships, both "under review", no credit pulls at all. I'm guessing at this point all the funds are probably ear marked for those who received COIs. 😭 I just wish since they do rolling acceptances, just do rolling denials as well, so we don't sit through this for months and months.
Seriously because the anticipation is too much for me
I'm not trying to be negative Nancy, just trying to be realistic. Everyone I'm hearing from is getting awarded. I haven't heard of anyone getting a COI this week, at all. So I'm thinking awards go out until the 30th but I'm assuming they've sent out all the COIs they're going to send out, since no one has gotten one this week that I know of
I haven't received a COI so I'm gonna just be hopeful that she told me correctly
I haven't received one either. I do hope for all our sakes that's correct but it just doesn't seem to be that way because I've heard of no one getting a COI this week yet
I commented this a while back after I spoke to a rep and another confirmed who said she's been with them for years. She said under their policy the COI needs to be sent no later than 4 days before the final award date (Sep 30th) because they need to give the school time to complete their portion and they can not award after the 30th. They said if a COI is not given by today or tomorrow then we cab confirm we were not selected this year.

Hey it's still only Wednesday, and we don't what will happen. You could very well be true but we just have to wait.
But what we do know is that not everyone will make it on this round. However, we just have to wait for the outcome.

That's what I was told today when I called as well
