I did not see a thread about Seton hall's accelerated nursing program starting in the fall 2015 so I decided to create one. I recently had an interview with Seton hall for the accelerated nursing program and I'm very eager to hear back from them with their decision because I am very interested in the program. Is there anyone else in this position? Also, is there anyone who was in this program and can tell me about their experience with the program. Any feedback would be appreciated!
Yes please. I just tried to reply and got this message: "Sorry, you are not able to send a reply. Either you reached the number of private messages saved (PM Quota) or you sent too many in a short period of time."
Congratulations! Looking forward to meeting you and studying with you over the next year+. Are you living close to school? I'm near New Brunswick and will be commuting. (MODERATOR EDIT OF NAME) told me that after today, they will begin sending out more info for new students. I'm looking forward to a financial aid meeting as I am planning to apply for scholarships.
My name is Kristin and I also received my acceptance letter to the accelerated nursing program at Georgian Court University also. I was wondering if anyone received the financial aid package yet? I'm a little nervous about the tuition being so high and not having a lot of financial aid options since i'm in the second degree program.
Congratulations! Looking forward to meeting you and the others here soon! I have not received anything about financial aid. I remember at the interview (MODERATOR EDIT OF NAME) saying there would be a FA meeting. I hope it is soon because as I've recently looked into scholarships, I noticed that many of them have deadlines. I hear you about not being eligible for as much aid with a second Bachelor's. Besides the scholarships listed on Seton Hall's site, you can also check discovernursing.com for more.
Thanks for responding. If I remember correctly from the interview I was told that the FA meeting would be the beginning of July so I guess we will see what our options are then.
The meeting is in July. I am not getting my hopes up just coming out of a four year degree the finicial aide struggle and I are well acquainted. I know they said there will be a few options so that will be good hopefully it's more then just school offered loans. Hopefully there's some nursing specific scholarships.
The good thing is the cost are all up front I was told. We buy our books and supplied for the whole thing in one bundle. So we won't have like surprise cost every semester.
I would rather not have to buy all the textbooks up front. A friend of mine is finishing an ABSN program at another school and offered to share some of his eBooks with me. If we are buying all of our books in a bundle there will be no point to that. I guess with eBooks they have to require us to buy them all at once otherwise we could just share them with each other.
I was planning to work on scholarship applications this summer. If you haven't seen these, here are some links to available scholarships:
The books I can see would be a pain but they school may want us to have a specific version and publisher along with other materials.
I would just double check we can apply for some of those they may be reserved for 4 year students, the seton hall specific ones. You'll be fine with most J&J I had a small one my freshman year. For school specific scholarships my school has a lot of those, where you need to be a traditional student. You aren't eligible coming in for 2 years or as part of av accelerate program ( which we have for engineering) I had seen that list I have just been busy finishing up for graduation here.
Aide is just hard these days mine got smaller over 4 years when all of my families financed stayed the same.
I agree. I won't be applying for any until I get a clear picture from SHU as to what we're actually eligible for. There are so many scholarships for nursing. I guess we'll wait till July unless some info comes in the mail.
I'm sure they'll tell us what we are eligible for! The Red Cross offers a few to so you can look there. I have applied to a few none SHU scholarships already so I would say it's safe to start work on those.
