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.
See thats waht I was trying to figure out, Im taking 14 credits but only 10 are for my program. Thats Ill I could take since I have every other class taken. My school is considerednfull time, and god knows im at school full time but I wasn't sure if HRSA looked at it that way. Any one else taking under 12 fulltime credits, and get the emails and credit check?

I am taking 14 credits all nursing but I read somewhere on HRSA's stuff that as long as your college considers your nursing program fulltime then they consider you fulltime.
No just a pre-licensure BSN program. It's not as crazy the rest of the semesters but they really like to pack it in the first one.
I wish you the best!! I enjoyed my first semester of my BSN program (don't get me wrong it was tough) but we only had 14 hours. Second semester is what stunk for my program. I think I remember you being one of the people with the really expensive tuition? I really hope you get this bc that would be one less stress for you during your CrAzY first semester:clown:
I am taking 16 credits, which I am concerned about. 19 is crazy. My nursing classes are 9 credits. I am taking two other classes which are requirements, Developmental Psych, online, and A&P 1.
