If anyone else applying for the nursing corps scholarship 2015-2016 is anything like me then you've been googling like crazy trying to find out information on how to apply or what they need or even previous years winner. Soooooo.....if anyone is applying this year around or previously has and was or wasn't accepted please tell me your experience! Here are my stats PLEASE share yours if you'd like....
maryland full time nursing student.
VP of my local student nurses association
1st semester done ( :) ) asking for 2 years assistance
GPA 3.44
EFC 0000
4 years of community service in underserved communities
hi everyone....just saw this post and figured id drop a comment to maybe calm some of the nerves since ive been on edge also ever since ive applied. i got my credit checked 7/27 and just received an email stating that im a finalist and must upload the documents they require and accept the award! very exciting...for those of you with a credit check its usually a good sign!! so do not worry unless you have outstanding federal debt for which you have gone into default (i.e. previous student loans)
my stats
GPA- 3.5 overall; sciences 3.9
originally applied while living in NYC and moved down to florida to attend remington college of nursing
some community service; 5+ years of experience working in under served communities and medical offices
submitted the application on 4/24
enrolled in an accelerated nursing program for 12 months and requested 1 yr of funding
Thanks Marina for trying to calm our nerves!! My credit is excellent so I don't think it should prevent them from awarding me. I'm just hoping I'm close enough to the top of the list to get offered. It sounds like it's being done in a rolling fashion so I'll try not to freak out til the end of the week.
BTW thanks for all the well wishes :) baby girl was born 8lbs 1oz this morning. She had some extra fluid in her lungs so she has been in the NICU for the day and will stay there over night but I will get to hold her for the first time in about an hour :)
As for the scholarship I still haven't heard anything yet. Get more discouraged by the day but holding out hope I know its still early
What's the next step after we do the W-4 and Verification? Anybody know? Obviously more waiting for sure since it doesn't guarantee you an award
From the posts I saw last year, you submit your documents and then wait for a participant email. For the first round of people, they got their participant emails by the end of august / 1st week of september.
