The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

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.

Nope, it was right in my inbox.

all mine says is that the documents must be in by july 30... nothing about the decisions. i mean, i don't see why they can't figure out finalists vs. alternatives in the meantime then double-check who was good and got their paperwork done on 8/1, but... well, i'll give them the benefit of the doubt on their efficiency, but i'm not holding my breath either. ;)

the form that we have to sign and check if we wanted to accept the award says it in the 3rd paragraph. says "the administration will determine scholarship recipients by july 30..."

Nope, it was right in my inbox.

Well congrats...I'm kinda bummed...I could really use it...

well, look at that!

i'll believe it when i see it, but that's excellent that they're at least trying for 7/30. it really would be great to know before getting financial aid settled and having to reverse it all. (though it would be the most joyous irritation ever!)

I have an EFC of 0. But, nothing.
