Quick question on MI Nursing Scholarship

[phluteloop]

Hi!

For those who applied and received the MI nursing Scholarship:

How long did it take to notify you?

How were you notified?

Do they send you a check or is there a direct deposit option?

Thanks, have lovely night.

I depends on the school from what I understand. It was up to my school to submit my application, and send the funds to me. The money is sent first to the schoool and if anything is left, it is sent in a refund check to me from my school at the same time all other financial aid is applied to my account.

Our school made us aware that there were funds available about two weeks into my last semester. I applied and didn't receive anything for over six weeks or longer if I remember correctly. I actually received my funds two days before I graduated and attended my pinning ceremony. It took so ridiculously long that I considered actually not taking the money just so I could make whatever work decisions I wanted to without any strings attached. I did take the funds and within another six weeks I received a letter stating how much time I had to work and what paperwork I had to fill out for them to verify that I had fulfilled my end of the deal. I wasn't impressed with the process. I am still considering just giving it back to avoid any further hassles. It made me feel like such a heel to check in on it for weeks on end....the cashier knew me on sight and I felt terribly embarrassed. For me the whole process wasn't worth the time and effort. Now that I am looking for a job...I want to do what I want to do without having to worry about what they want me to do. I have decided to interview and take whatever job I like without regards for it and if it doesn't fit their criteria, I'm going to give the money back!
