Nursing corps scholarship 2015-2016

Published

Hello!

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

Thank you tellio015!!! You have calmed my nerves!....for now ;)

I just got off the phone with a representative.

For those in the same boat as me waiting for the finalist email she said as long as our application status says "under review" we are in good standing. Just wait patiently (her words- "take a deep breath and think positively") and we have until Sept 30 to hear and also the nurse corp is behind on the processing because they usually start over 1.5 weeks ago and they are just starting (ie the burst of awarded people in the forum) and she said check the portal and email (including spam) on a regular bases.

For those who received the finalist status she said once you complete the confirmation of interest forms they review to make sure u are still interested and then it is sent to the secretary of health for he/she to sign off and then you get the scholarship!

Hope this helps everyone. Knowing that we still have a chance is reassuring. I hope we get it! Praying.

Haha I know it's only a temp feeling but I a believer! :D

Thank you. Lets keep praying.

Hey guys, I'm new posting to

this thread, but I've been following with everyone for weeks. I haven't gotten a credit Check nor an email. I'm praying very much, I'm working on my BS in nursing and I have a 4.0 GPA and unfortunately a high EFC number due to having my mom on my taxes. I'm praying very much I get it cause I'm super broke and working 4 jobs to pay for school now. I'm happy for all of those who received the email and praying for the ones that are in the same boat as me. I wasn't going to write anything, but you guys have been such a support for me over this weeks and wanted to join my support in the wait :-)

Im in the same boat - still waiting. My EFC is 0 but i noticed some people that received the award had higher EFC numbers so you should be good too.

Anyone going to NYU in the fall for Accelerated Bachelors Degree as a Second Degree?

I wonder when the second round of emails will go out. Has anyone heard anything this week?

Hi, I'm me to this site. I also applied for this scholarship. I have learned more from you guys in the last few days than in the months since I submitted my application. I got my finalist email on the 8th and the deadline for submitting my additional forms is the 15th. My question is to those whose deadline has already passed, did you status change? Thanks.

Congratulations! I submitted my documents last Friday. Once I did that, my status went from "Finalist for award" to "In Final Review". Last year's recipients didn't get their participant email until the last week of August/ first week of September. Once you get the participant email, your status will change again.
