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.

OMG I got an email, too!! Mine came at 7:42 this morning, but I am just now checking my email. My last name starts with K and I have an EFC of 0 as well.
Out of curiosity, what kinds of programs are you guys attending that are getting the notifications? I wonder if they give preference to certain kinds of schools or anything like that.
I'm doing an ABSN at a private university starting next month... crazy high tuition, but at least it's only 4 semesters, so I'll be done next December.

im entering my 3rd year of a bsn program at a private college. tuition is around 11k. i graduate in may of 2012...
I am beginning the 2nd year of an ADN program at a public community college. I graduate in May 2011, however, my school will start offering an RN-BSN program beginning in January. Once my program is complete, I will be able to continue on towards a BSN if I want- which I am now considering starting right away.
