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.
Anyone in Texas or with CL received their "sorry" letter yet? I am anxiously awaiting mine.. I know that might sound a little nuts, but I realized a couple of weeks ago that I was not getting the scholarship and I need that letter to come so that I can completely move on and get it out of my head!!
So I don't know how many recipients are still reading this, but I have an interesting situation. I received all e-mails, got the credit check and then received an e-mail on the 25th that I had received the scholarship. Then today I received a snail mail letter stating that I hadn't been selected dated the 23rd. Anybody else in this boat or am I the only one?
Can I ask what state you're in. I am so sorry that happened, they better give you the scholarship! I am worried now....

OMG!! That is horrible! I hope that they made the mistake of sending out the letter and that you are a recipient! What a way to ruin your weekend. I could not even imagine what I would be doing right now if I were in your shoes! Definitely let us know what happens when you call on Monday. I am soo sooo sorry!!!
I have a friend who goes to my school, she received the final email on Wed stating that she got the scholarship then a few hours later received an email saying it was a mistake that she would not be getting the scholarship... It was so horrible for her...
Wow... Bobwolg, please let us know what happens after you speak to them on Monday.
I realize that everyone makes mistakes, but that is ridiculous. Samb0105, I feel so awful for your friend! They really need to get it together at HRSA, the scholarship is a genuinely a life changing thing, and that is just ridiculous!!

Who was her analyst? That is crazy! At this point I am still praying the snail mail was a mistake. But you never know I guess. I have my first med surg exam tomorrow so I am trying not to worry and study, you can imagine how that is going...
Her analyst was KH same as mine.... She emailed her to verify and got a response saying it was sent in error that she did not get the scholarship.. It was horrible..
