To all that plan on applying, Make sure you do!! Don't let this opportunity pass you bye. I am a recipient of the NSP and it is worth all the trouble. Get your ducks in a row now. Plan on who you are going to ask to write your two letters of recommen...

kabda & garciamnic, First you need to go to HRSA.gov then go to loans and scholarships, then to the nursing scholarship program (NSP). You will see a link (submit your email here) at the top of the page. You will be sent an email when the scholar...

pearlgirl52508, What my advisor and HRSA told me was this. In early summer the schools of all the possible candidates or applicants were sent forms. They were general forms that HRSA sends out every year. They just said that a student at your school ...

Hey everyone, Some more updated info on the ORC! I contacted my nursing advisor, she was the one that filled out the form in early Summer. She gave me a break down of what she submitted. Which was scary!!! Of course like I stated none of the costs th...

Ok Everyone, I have some slightly disturbing news about the ORC payment. I talked to the head of my accounting dept, as well as HRSA and my advisor. The ORC payment is already SET!! Back before we were ever awarded the scholarship (months ago) HRSA s...

I just got a little piece of info. I did not get the invoice link or the welcome packet in my account even though the email says it will be there. I called and they said it is a technical glitch that they are fixing on an individual basis. So if you ...

ktg80 and everyone else, My university's accounting office seems pretty familiar with the process since a few other students previously have been awarded the scholarship. I am also a university employee so I have greater access to them. I will be t...

I see that I am late to the party! I just saw the email and am going through the site right now. CONGRATS everyone!!!! I am thrilled we have all gotten to this point!! I am already having trouble finding some forms, but knowing all of you the answer ...

emdrn74, Hey, I just saw your friend request and accepted. You should be able to send messages now. But on the current topic, No I haven't heard anything new yet. I feel like the rest of you, impatient and eager to get the process finished. I am hopi...

PrincessLayla, Trust me we definitely know each other! At least by sight. Did you participate in the blood drive we had in April? I coordinated it, if that helps with identification. I know most of the nursing students participated either by donating...

Hey PrincessLayla, It is good to see another DU student applying for the scholarship. I did accept your friend request and sent you a private message with all my info. Hit me back and we can go over all things DU.

MsSherman, Congratulations, and welcome to the club! The fact that you were awarded the scholarship should give hope to all those still waiting, more awards are definitely being sent out. On another note I love your pic! You look beautiful, congratul...

emdrn74, Congratulations on receiving the scholarship and on graduating!! I am glad nothing was being taken personally because my comments were not directed towards you. Just in general to all the people who want to bring down others hopes and who do...

Listen there is nothing negative being said about anyone! The point is that especially if you are planning on being a nurse and details are the difference between life and death, you should be detail oriented, and know what you are getting into. A lo...

I do understand that for some based on where they live the number of approved sites might be limited, but that is something that responsible people with common sense should look into. If you are not prepared to work at a hospital or clinic that is no...

Hey scnep5711, I am on the opposite side of the state from you, I'm in Detroit. I am in the BSN program at Davenport University.It's the largest private university in the state. The main campus is in Grand Rapids, but I will be attending at a smaller...

scnep5711, Congrats!! It is nice to see someone else from Michigan get the award too. I was thinking I might be the only one. Where in Michigan are you from? What school?

To the blogger that asked about what volunteer work the award recipients did these are my details. I first am the Community Outreach Chair for a national honor society. I run a urban gardening organization that teaches people in the city how to plan...

edrury0927, You also seem like you put a lot of thought into this process. It is great that you have dedicated so much time to others, and as a single mom as well I truly understand the hardships that entails. I truly wish you all the luck in the wor...

TM0311, You sound amazing! I'm sure the work you are doing is making a huge difference in those children's lives. Keep up the good work and keep your eyes open for that email. Good Luck with everything!!

Congratulations Jrmalin!!!

I know for all who have not received the scholarship yet there is a lot of wondering about the people who did get it. There has been speculation about preference being made for many different reasons, this is my outlook. A scholarship like this is ve...

Someone had asked for the award recipients info: 3.84 GPA BSN Michigan EFC 0 To everyone else still waiting, just remember this is only day one. They have a 28 more days to make decisions. GOOD LUCK!

jtboog2003, You were awarded the scholarship, you are only a finalist until the information and forms have been sent in. Some people might not accept and others may be ineligible now for some reason. So they need that form filled out by your school a...
