Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Updated:   Published

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.

Just FYI I heard my analysis that with the federal government shutting down and the stimulus money running out they are thinking about cutting a majority of the scholarship recipients or even thinking about not accepting new applicants. This is why the application isn't even out on the website yet when in the previous years it came out around February or early March. Just wanted to let you hopefuls know so you don't get too entrenched into this scholarship. :down:

Thank you, wow. I wonder if they will let everyone know for sure.

That is weird. I called today and was told that it would be offered this year. And, to just keep watching for the email.

If you're applying to a ABSN program can you apply for the scholarship?

Specializes in MedSurg, OR, Cardiac step down.

Don't bother applying if you make any sort of $$ that is unless of course you have kids. I make $11/hr and that's too much. I am so tired of getting shafted.......:banghead: Oh well I guess it does no good to get aggravated for not having kids. My soap box.

Does anyone ever get this scholarship without a $0 EFC? My family's will be less than $1000 (I think $700-800 based on an online calculator) but not $0.
