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
Did you ladies/guys recieve your Feburary Stipend yet? They just sent my tuition reimbursement via check. I'm hoping I get my stipend soon. It looks like around the 20th it comes.
I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your experience with applying last year! There is so much good information on this thread! I am applying for this cycle and I'm so nervous. I have a 4.0 GPA for my A.A. in Liberal Arts-Health Science Transfer, and I'm going to an Accelerated BSN. I was just wondering if anyone who received an award last year could estimate the word count of their essays? I am really trying to focus on that portion right now in preparation for applying. I want them to really shine. I think it amazing to see so many people working towards thier goals! Thank you again for posting your experiences!
Hello and congrats on taking the first step to becoming a nurse! I'm about to graduate here soon and I couldn't be happier! My essays were all about 3/4 a page. I was straight forward honest to the point and really put my heart into it. I don't think they want s really long drawn out essay but something that gives a sense of who you are as a person and that you are genuine.

I second what JM12345 said. I also made my essays sound and flow differently by using a different writing style. Think about it...they have to read thousands of essays...make yours stand out so that they'd WANT to read it. Along with my grades, I think that's what helped me win the scholarship.
Also, I just want to say to everyone out there to make sure you really want to win this scholarship. Some people who have won this scholarship are having trouble finding work in their area and want to get out of the commitment. Or, they didn't know that they would have to pay taxes on the scholarship. Please read the pdf booklet in full before committing. It breaks my heart to see people complaining and trying to get out of the commitment when there were many other people who wanted this scholarship.
Take a look at the HPSA locator to find out if hospitals in your area qualify as eligible sites. Beware that site scores may change but this gives you an idea.

Looks like I was wrong and will be amending my tax return í ½í¸ž..... The 1099 is for tuition and fees and the w2 is for stipend and ORC
