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
My contract was updated and signed by me 5/21/15. I'm a new grad ER Nurse waiting to get the scholarship for the NP and I'm starting my 4th semester this month. From the looks of these posts I won't be getting the scholarship; however, I would be greatly surprised if I did ! Congrats to all the people who got it.
I'm curious, what does the participation email say?
Im still anxiously awaiting mine. My contract was signed by Lisa on August 27th, but that I'm still very nervous about the process
Im still in the same boat as you my contract was also signed but on the 28th, still no email and it states I am still in final review. I am also very nervous!
Got my participant email. There were two emails one stating I need to log in right away and another stating I have a message from the Bureau of Health Workforce. When I logged my account had been converted to the participant portal.
Congratulations to everyone! I have been following this thread back and forth since I received email. I literally cried... read the email 5 times then cried again, jumped up with joy and then called my mom screaming so happy. She could barely understand me.
GPA 3.4
Accelerated ADN (I hold a bachelors degree)
EFC 0
Ohio
4/25 submitted application
8/4 HRSA acceptance email
8/31 Participant email
It's been a little stressful because my school isn't familiar with what to do and how to submit the itemized invoice. If you have any advice or insight please let me know. Again.. Congratulations to everyone!
Ash, i am in the same boat. I am also very stressed about this. If anyone can offer words of wisdom or experience, i would greatly appreciate it. Is it done by region? By semester start date (i begin this week)? What other factors? Will i be contacted by HRSA regarding this?
I just checked my contract and saw the countersignature, which was made just this morning! Hopefully … You get yours soon! :)
Hi all! Congrats to all of you! I was just wondering if any of you knew what increased your chances of receiving the scholarship? I've heard a mixture of things. A rep told me full time family nurse practitioner students received the awards above anyone else? Just wondering what everyone's views are! Also, can you apply for the scholarship and loan repayment in the same year? Thanks! :)
I just received my two emails from the Nurse Corps notifying me that I am a participant! I can FINALLY STOP WORRYING! It is such a relief!! The emails came at 7:37pm and 7:40pm. Good luck to the rest that are waiting on the participant email.
