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 am super fustrated! I can check my credit anywhere...every time i sign up for one it says I have to call for verification, then they want me to mail in proof of address! I just want to check if I were checked, LOL!
Some school such as mine are fast track so we go year round with a 1-2 week break every 3 months... So I was enrolled in a term June-August then we start back the end of august for the next term which lasts 3 months...
Hopefully we will all hear something in a little over a week....
My school has us going during summers. I had a nursing class from May until Mid June and then a humanities course that I need for graduation from mid-June until the beginning of August. So, I am hoping they will somehow verify this information so that I can get the stipend for July and Aug, if I get the scholarship.
On another note, I just looked at my phone about 20 mins ago and I see that I have a missed call from about an hour and a half earlier from area code 301. I had wondered if I should call it back because there was no message left. Well I call, and it was someone from HRSA (I think it was VJ) and I tell him I missed a call and was calling back. He wanted to verify my tuition. I guess my school never got back to them. I told him what it was and he said that's what he got also from my school's website, so he just wanted to see if that was about right. I asked if we would be finding out anytime soon and he said probably around the 23rd.
I've received the stipend payment year round -- the payment in october included July aug sept and oct. We didn't start class until the 23rd of Aug. and they would not have even known if I took summer classes or not -- if you ask them, they will tell you your contract goes from July to June - so you will get stipend payments for each of those months.

Sounds good to me!!:yeah:
Did you sign a two year contract? Or just one? If you did sign a two year contract, have you heard anything for this year?

Do you think that is true for students who start school Sept 27th (like me..)??? I read the information that the NSP contract is as you stated July to June, but it also says I need to be in class for at least 15 days that month in order to receive the stipend....it is as clear as mud...
