Is the website down for anybody else? I can't log in...

Hey! To those who received the award, what did they ask you for? Just curious :-) CONGRATS again!!

Congratulations to everybody who received an email today!! For those who haven't, I called the help desk today and they said that all 350 awards have not been made yet. So don't lose hope! Questions for folks who have received the award: What state do you go to school in? What is your EFC? How happy are you?!?! Congrats again! Waiting patiently and hopefully!!

We should make a Facebook group...does anybody know how?

Congrats everybody!!

Yes it did!

I got an email from Financial Aid and then an email from the person from WHC who has been in touch with us about the program.

Just found out I got it!

Has anybody heard back from WHC? So ready to hear back so I can figure out my final plans. I would obviously love the scholarship, but after visiting, I think I might be even more excited about working there after school! Just a note on repayment programs. I've heard good things about the federal repayment programs and I've even heard that many DC-area hospitals qualify as under served hc facilities...I know that with the federal nursing scholarships it can be tough because you're at their mercy when you're done with school in terms of where you work, but with the repayment programs I think you have more flexibility. Or at least that's what I've heard! Thanks for all of the helpful comments! Again, can't WAIT to hear back about WHC.

Hope everybody had great interviews!! I guess we hear back this week! So exciting!!

I'm most likely going to Georgetown as well! The visit was great on Friday...made me really excited for the fall! And like I said, I was blown away by WHC on Saturday. After the visit I think I would commit three years there after graduating even if they weren't going to give me the scholarship! I'm in the DC area as well (in the U Street neighborhood)...trying to figure out where to live next year will be easier once I know about the WHC scholarship...but I'm probably going to try to live somewhere without roommates (all of my friends are far too much fun to be conducive to studying) and closer to Dupont (read: GUTS bus). SO excited to start nursing school!!!

Hi! Thanks for reporting back! Sorry to hear you didn't feel great about your interview! I also interviewed on Saturday and am completely in love with WHC! I'm one of those nurses who feels really excited about nursing in a high acuity, diverse hospital setting, but who doesn't know which specialty I'll end up in yet! So basically, I feel like this this program would be perfect!! I'm definitely nervous and hopeful about the decisions!! After meeting everybody this weekend, I know that everybody is super qualified and amazing! Aalett, are you definitely going to Georgetown or are there other schools in the running for you? What part of DC do you live in? Thanks!!

Hi Everybody!! Hope you're well! For those of you who visited over the weekend for both Georgetown and WHC, what were your thoughts? Was WHC what you expected? Are you still enthusiastic about the scholarship? Would love to hear what folks are thinking!

@rikkitikki: I just called the financial aid office today! I submitted my FAFSA and PROFILE back in March, but had not heard anything yet. It turns out, they needed my 1040 form...I submitted that today and they said I should hear back in the next week or so regarding what the school will be able to offer! Hope that helps!

I think it's around 60!
