The HRSA nursing scholarship is available now. I just submitted my application although I'm probably a long shot.
How to Apply for a Scholarship
If you're interested in pursuing a career in healthcare, you may be eligible for a scholarship through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The HRSA Scholarship Program is designed to support students in various healthcare disciplines who are committed to serving underserved communities and helping to address the shortage of healthcare professionals in those areas.
HRSA offer scholarships to help pay for health professions' education.
All Scholarship awardees will provide a one-year service commitment for each year of scholarship support received.
The application cycle typically opens in late Winter or early Spring and closes in late Spring or early Summer, so be sure to check the website regularly for updates.
Scholarship requirements:
To be eligible for the HRSA Scholarship, you must be enrolled or accepted for enrollment in an accredited program that leads to a degree in one of the following disciplines:
Nursing (including RN, ADN, BSN, and graduate-level nursing programs)
Nurse Practitioner
Certified Nurse-Midwife
You must also be a U.S. citizen, a national, or permanent resident.
Have no federal judgment liens and service commitment.
If you meet the eligibility criteria, you can apply for scholarship through the HRSA's online application system.
Scholarship award covers:
Tuition and Eligible Fees
A monthly stipend for living expenses
An annual other reasonable costs payment
If you have any questions about the program or the application process, the HRSA offers resources and support to help guide you through the process. Don't miss out on the opportunity to receive financial assistance while pursuing your dream of a career in healthcare and serving those in need.
I have a question for those of you that applied. I know that i could probably find the answer in the thread somewhere, and if you want to link me to a post or a specific page, feel free.
But my question is, can you apply for this if you are in your second year of a Nursing program? I didn't learn about this scholarship until after the deadline, but i am curious if i would be able to apply next year. My school is QUITE pricey, and it would be wonderful if i didn't have to take out loans for both years.
Thanks to anybody that has the answer for me! :)
And good luck to all of you that applied for this year!!
Yes you can apply for next year. Just look on their site to see when the new application cycle begins. :)
Thanks! I was reading the site and couldn't find it directly. I also saw that they offer loan repayment as well....so even if i don't get accepted into the HRSA scholarship group, there is still the option of trying for that.
Thanks again! And i have it set to email me when the new applications for next year are posted.

Thank you morningdew and FTstudentFTMom! I just realized that we all have the same fax number. That means that the analysts have access to the same fax and that's how they can screw things up by grabbing the wrong documents. I will call them tomorrow just to make sure. Thank you guys.
