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 looked at the end of last week and didn't see anything in there to support they had pulled my credit; however, I did get the scholarship. It was emailed to me at 10:23 this morning.
yes pleaseeeeee, tell us if people diod not get there credit checks and received the award.
I didn't ever see anything where my credit was checked, and I looked at all three bureaus. Keep faith! I received the initial email, a couple of others, but that's it. I was sure I got lost in the mix somewhere because none of my phone calls ever got returned, nor did any of my emails. I also got conflicting information every time I called...and I still got it. You will too, I know it.

When did you look at your credit report? Was it a while ago? Do you have a monitoring system in place that tells you of any changes in your report? If yes to these questions, then I have a little hope today. Let me know, so I can feel better. Make sure you did not get your credit checked so I don't start with false hopes:) . On another note, CONGRATULATIONS!!

I did, but my credit has not been checked. I was told by another lady at HRSA that when you get your credit pulled it is more likely that you will be awarded with the scholarship. Plus, that same lady said something that confused me. She said that my analyst should be CL but my file was on JJ3rd's desk:uhoh3:. I have called CL, the lady who told me all this, and JJ3rd and none have answered back, so I figured I am an alternate and they do not want to deal with me.
I got it too. Got my email at 9:20. Congrats to everyone. When I read the e-mail all I could do was cry and thank God! And to those who haven't heard anything don't give up hope. It's not over until you get something official. Just keep praying!!!
