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.
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.
Yeah, I did a solid set of revisions on mine. Probably spent the better part of a week looking over them and working on them for a while each night. I found them sort of... repetitive? Not entirely, but my answers seemed to overlap each other a lot.

I spent a long time on mine as well....I had someone edit it and help me change some stuff up. Then my letters of recommendation they took some time too for them to write...
I don't think the GPA, essays or anything else had anything to do with their decisions. This is the first year they have even ever had any of those requirements. I'm a third year BSN with a 3.98 GPA. Single mother, 0EFC, excellent references and good essays and I did not get an email. I don't think they even took the time to look at all of that.

nope, i wrote my essays about 10 mins before i went to the post office. they were each about a paragraph long...i didnt have time to be tedeous with them because i was in the process of having about 6 exams in a 10 day span, which included finals. i figured those were more important.

I didn't spend a whole lot of time on mine because I literally found out about the scholarship at the last minute. But, I have always been excellent and essay writing and I feel they were good ones. I also had some great reference letters.
I am wondering if maybe my school might have classified me as part time. The people working in the office are far from geniuses.
Anyone from Indiana get their email? Im just curious, kind of got my hopes down now & could really use the scholarship-as we all can ! But I was first fuding group, enrolled in a BSN program full time, 0 efc, had great references and spent a good amount of time on my essays. Not sure why I wouldnt get it, but maybe better luck next year!

I am sorry to hear that you didn't get an email, but i think they may still be sending them out. But I didn't really say that the essays played a significant role in their decision or not. Who knows how they determine their candidates? I was just wondering how long it took others to write them. I struggled with the questions a lot because I didn't want to sound repetitive.
Perhaps the essays are what they will consider in the final round? Deciding between 2 people? I don't know. They asked us to write them for a reason I suppose.
I wonder if you faxed and mailed your original supplemental documents? They might have rec'd 2 copies of your info and that is why you rec'd 2 emails...just a thought. Congrats!
For all you waiting on emails, don't give up! I didn't get mine until 3:26 p.m. Central time. I've been following this board (but not posting) since the beginning! I felt so sad and depressed that everyone else was getting notification and I didn't get any...til today! I'm in Tennessee, have an EFC of 0, and will be full-time in a two-year program. I had my stuff faxed in an hour later. A double-whammy for me today; the Senate extended unemployment benefits today for those who had them expire, so I'll get backpay for that as well. God has been good to me...no sooner than I had rejoiced over getting my unemployment back, I got this scholarship email! Please, y'all don't lose faith. :redbeathe
