Thank you!! I have been working on my application for 2 school years basically so I hope everyone thats passionate and dedicated receives the award too?

Yes, very grateful. Contract cosigned 8/24, email notification on 8/26, 2nd email inviting me to become a participant rather than applicant and webinar info 8/27. Hang in there everyone, this is a rolling process it seems!! People are still being notified!

My EFC was 0 and I was notified a few days ago that I received the award.

This message concerned me, so your status went backwards? Did you have a chance to call the HRSA line and inquire why your contract wasn't online anymore?

I am a finalist as of 8/10/21 and have not received a confirmation email that I am aware of but my contract is uploaded and forms reveived. For those that got the email, what is the subject line?

If you get the NHSC scholarship are you allowed to work while in school?

Check your emails!! 10am CST received the email I’ve been waiting for all year- finalist for NHSC!! EFC 0, credit checked 6/14, 3.8 GPA, 0 yrs patient care exp, MSN PNHNP program!!

Interestingly I’ve talked to a few students who received the finalist email and status change on the website but never got a credit check! So there’s still hope for many

So awesome that multiple of us in this thread got credit checks!! Based on previous years, does everyone who gets a credit check receive the award??

My credit was checked on June 14th. My bank notified me and Experian report confirmed.

Hi! Has anyone on this forum received a credit check in June and heard nothing at all from HRSA or Nurse Corps? I hear a credit check is a good sign but I haven't seen any movement in 2 months. Also, how confident are we that the second wave of applicants will be notified they received the award this week?

In the past I’ve seen a few students get a full scholarship (Based on incoming GPA and other metrics). Usually 2-3 students are awarded the full scholarship according to financial aid packets they sent us via email. Most students will get $1,000-$10,000 scholarships (Directly from the SON) that are renewable for two years if you keep certain grades and rely on loans for the rest unfortunately. PMHNP at Vanderbilt costs about $75,000/year so it’s definitely an investment!

Dear current Vandy students filtering the chat, what was the format for lecture, lab, and clinicals for the fall of 2020 and Spring 2021? Online, in-person required, either as an opt-in, etc? What is the expected format for next fall or if we’re not sure yet, what date will we know more? I am trying to figure out if it is necessary to move to Nashville during the prespecialty year and how students this year handled it with the pandemic.

Hi! I was accepted to the Penn program and I attended a similarly ranked large institution to yours, had the same major, and did a lot of the same extracurriculars besides sports. I was accepted to Penn with a 3.8 GPA and 3.7 in my nursing prereqs. I had at least 6 people review my statements and I really poured my goals and heart out in the essays so I would totally suggest having everyone who would be willing to revise your essays do that (including students that were accepted into the program previously). I wouldn’t worry to much about comparing yourself to others— really focus on acing as many prereqs as you can and getting amazing letters of recommendation. I ultimately decided to attend a different school for my NP program because Penn’s program is extremely expensive, even with a half scholarship. Apply to cheaper schools too and look into the Nurse Corps Scholarship Program as well.

Thank you for sending over these details! Do you know if you can still get the scholarship if you defer admission for one year (similar to taking a year off)?
