Congratulations!! When was your credit checked?

Congratulations, polkadot!! When was your credit checked?

I haven't heard anything yet! I'm refreshing my inbox by the minute. Im predicting that we'll start receiving notifications the week of the 15th... They finished scoring on July 15th, and checked scores two weeks later.... So my math-oriented mind i...

Hello everyone! I was accepted to Holy Family for Fall 2015. My acceptance is contingent on the completion of all prerequisites except for statistics, which I completed with my first bachelor's degree. I completed nutrition, microbiology, and A&...

SD, I posted the scoring criteria earlier. GPA is only 10/100 points. In terms of credit, they only look for the issues that I mentioned. If you don't have anything to prove that your are NOT a reliable candidate, then you don't have a reason to wo...

Justine, I'm paranoid for the same reasons. The representative who I spoke with speculated that credit cards are not an issue, but I'm still nervous.

Hi SD, HRSA checks your credit for public records such as leins, bankruptcies, defaults on federal loans and other indicators that you do not honor your responsibilities. You won't have an issue unless you have any of those on your credit report

Good luck, Justine! I'm wishing you and your little one the best, and sending thoughts and prayers your way.

Hakhama, when I spoke to a representative last week, she told me that they have been sending notifications everyday. All finalists undergo a credit check, whether or not they notice it. A credit check means that you are a finalist, but it does not m...

Which schools are you planning on attending, Romero1027 and tellio015? Have you considered working as a CNA to help pay for school? I'm also in a financial situation where I'll either have to work through school or defer my enrollment if I don't rec...

Oh! I didn't know that. I guess that we will have to wait and see...

I'd like to think that more than one of us will! Plus, if we all received a credit check on the same day, I think that it's a good indicator that we're equally ranked.... The question is... which rank?

All this time I had been assuming that NP students were notified first.... If all of us who received a credit check on June 29, including RN and NP students are in the same rank of applicants, I wonder how they reserve up to half of the scholarship ...

Thanks for verifying this, Justine!

Potential One, I posted a link to this year's HRSA review guidelines for NURSE Corps applicants. Applicants are scored and then ranked on a scale of 1 to 5. The highest possible score is 100 points: 10 points GPA 15 points Essay 1 15 points Essay...

Well, all finalists have to have a credit check, but it's only been two weeks since HRSA started checking credit. There's still time. Sometimes credit checks don't appear on all of your reports, and sometimes they don't appear at all.

Since most of us received a credit check around the same time, I wonder if we will also receive notifications around the same time...

Miltown, like you, I am also in a situation where nursing school with be a financial burden without this scholarship. I am no longer eligible for federal loans because of the amount that I borrowed for my first bachelors degree. I am not eligible for...

I don't think that they send notifications over the weekend. I honestly think that its too early for them to send notifications to RN students. Here are my thoughts, based on earlier years' discussion, and the applicant review website: The reviewer...

I agree that we should be realistic in our expectations for this award. It is a very competitive scholarship... We are all competing against brilliant, involved and experienced future nurses. I posted a link to the review criteria for the scholarshi...

Danielle, I believe that only Finalists get credit checks... After reading through the HRSA application review page, I believe that they finished scoring on July 15th... I don't think that they would check everyone's credit knowing who the finalists...

Maybe I'm a little obsessed about this. I found the score card for this year's applicant cycle: HRSA Review Information According to this site, all applications should have been reviewed by July 15, 2015 I wonder how they choose application reviewers...

Well, the people receiving replies (in the other thread) applied to a different program. Applicants to the Nurse Corps Scholarship Program and the Nurse Corps Loan Repayment Program are reviewed separately. Although applicants to the 2014 Nurse Corp...

My credit was also checked today! It appears as CREDCO on my experian report only. My last name starts with S and I live in D.C. Hopefully we all hear something soon! I'm praying very hard about this. ps. From a previous discussion board, I found ...

I've also been checking every day! The anxiety is killing me. I'm entering an accelerated BSN program, 3.5 GPA, EFC 0. I'm also a lifelong volunteer, with 14+ years of service to underserved populations, including 2 years as an AmeriCorps VISTA... H...
