X-Nurse14

Just wanted to start a thread as there appears to be some from the past. Has anyone else applied for the August 2014 cohort? I would love to hear and keep in contact with other current applicants as well as those from the past. Below is the program...

I did not hear anything, but am staying optimistic. I am wondering if they are doing the screenings in order or in groups. I did not hear about the program until the the day before the application was due and did not submit until that night, unfort...

Glad to see others are starting to find this thread! Unfortunately, from years past it seems they follow the posted scheduled as best they can so probably won't be seeing status changes until mid-May. Although, I wish it was sooner!

Glad to see there is someone else on here that applied. I am from out of state and will probably only be moving if offered a position for this program, so I am keeping my options open right now. From reading the previous threads it appears this is ...

It is best to remain calm throughout this process and patience is key! :) But it is often hard to not have it running through your mind and everyone can relate to you in that way. To answer your question: Based on previous cycles, it is believed to ...

You shouldn't have any problem logging into the portal if you are on the NSP Applicant login page. If you are on the Participant login page, you will not be granted access. You can make sure you are on the correct login page by choosing from the Ro...

The DCW is the Data Collection Worksheet that HRSA will request to obtain financial information from the school and nursing program. Someone from your financial aid office will have to go through the process to fill out the information. Not everyon...

You are going to drive yourself crazy if you think about this scholarship or check the portal frequently. lol. I learned from the previous cycle to just put it aside and not think about it until August.

I would contact the Help Desk and explain the situation specifically. I believe the problem came down to recipients expecting to be reimbursed for the total cost, but they didn't take into account that it is only reimbursement for tuition and fees a...

I cannot give a definite answer, but based on previous cycles I would not expect to hear anything before the end of August- possibly later due to delays! If your school needs the money you can take out an additional student loan and have it repaid o...

I was referring to the Resume/CV actually being used for scoring. This was the scoring rubric per say for the previous cycle: 201161793270-3.BCRS_NSP_REVIEW_SCORECARD_WORKSHEET_020411.6.17.11 (4).doc

I did not mean my post to cause people to become upset. But unless the process changed, the six items I listed are what is used to score applications. Yes, they may see that you uploaded a supporting document, but in the previous cycle it wasn't u...

Nobody should see "Supporting Documents" on their submitted application page and unfortunately, if you uploaded something in that area it probably won't be viewed or used throughout the reviewal process. The main components shown on the submitted app...

it is listed in the requirements, but it is unknown whether or not this will disqualify you from the scholarship. the portal is currently unavailable, at least for me. unless you did not meet one of the initial eligibility requirements, your...

That is good to know about the SAR, because when I e-mailed them I got a response to call and order an official one. Either way, it is good to know that both work. Good luck with getting answers!

With the increased number of applicants, they will for sure look for anything in the applications to be able to narrow it down. I would definitely still try and contact them to get answers. I feel if there are two things that may end up hindering a...

If files were too big, it was essential that you compress the files to reduce the file size. It is very important that you upload each document in the designated section. If you already submitted your application, I am not sure if this will hinder ...

If you scan your documents as a PDF you should be able to easily combine them into a single file, then upload them to the online application.

if you are unable to find a job after the 6 month period following graduation, they will assist you in finding somewhere to work. unfortunately, they did say many recipients have had to relocate. when it's all said and done.. this scholarship is a ...

They had a Power Point presentation that reviewed the program information, which is available in the program guide. After the presentation, they answered questions submitted by those attending the webinar. They said the PPT presentation and Q&...

Everyone that has at least started the application process for the NSP 2012-2013 cycle should have received the e-mail, but this is just a friendly reminder: Please join the Nursing Scholarship Program (NSP) for a webinar this Friday, April 13, at ...

I am sure you are aware, but wanted to clarify for other readers to avoid confusion. You do not need an EFC of 0 to qualify for the scholarship. This year they have made it more clear: There is a funding preference for applicants of greatest financ...
