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.
so i went back and read the original email we were sent after submitting our online application....this is what it said.
"thank you for submitting the application for the nursing scholarship program (nsp) for the 2010-2011 academic year. if you are selected to receive an award you will be notified by letter and email in august or early september. if you are not selected for an award you will be notified by letter or e-mail by no later than october 30. "
i just thought it was funny that an email back from april was more honest then the website or any emails we have recieved. all over the website it says we will be notified by july 31st.
Nothing yet, its still kinda early. They probably dont get in the office until 8 or 9 and have to get everything situated. I just got in from work, so once I wake up, I hope I have something in the email box.
Well everyone, it is 8:50 am here in pa and no email yet. Good luck to everyone here! And I hope those that have their first day of school today have a good day. Hopefully we hear something today, although I am not convinced we will. I'm keeping my fingers crossed...Good luck again guys!
