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.

I talked to mine today...she said that she wont be able to right then when I was on the phone because she said there were a lot coming in and they had to be separated, but that she could call me back and let me know.

Congratulations to everyone that got emails. I just found this board and was wondering is anyone here from Nebraska? I didn't receive an email but maybe it will still come.

And has anyone heard in Michigan? I've never been more desperate - I know you all know how I feel :(

Hi all, I just found this thread. I got my email yesterday at 9:55am I was so excited! I faxed my stuff today and I plan to call my analyst tomorrow to confirm that everything is okay.

Now to wait some more... :p

Has anyone recieved an email today, Tuesday?? So far I haven't seen anyone get an email yet. I woke up 10 time last night to check...:( so sad, still nothing.

Yes. I got an email today. It was afternoon tho. I am in Massachusetts. I believe thay are doing it by state. The email was addressed to a string of individuals with my email and the name of a rep in Ma. Hope that helps

Anyone in South Carolina got an email yet? Still waiting.....

I don't think there will be any more emails. The deadline is the 30th and it seems like they would be trying to get them out.

I didn't get one, either, and I can't figure out why I wouldn't have.

It could be so many factors, and I'm sorry to hear that. Perhaps you can try again next year. I read on the 2009 hrsa recipients, a lady applied 2 or 3 times and finally got accepted.

Just wondering if anyone spent a good amount of time on their essays? Man, it took me like a month.
