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.
So is mine! Very cool...so you actually talked to her? I have only sent an email....no response yet. I don't really want to pressure them...but for peace of mind I need to know that they have rec'd my paperwork.

From looking at the posts from last year I am beginning to think that I got thrown out because I have an AA degree. That's not really fair when unless it is in nursing or something it's usually just your core classes. You can't even get a job that pays more than 10 an hour with it. Forgive me for trying to better myself. It was all of my prerecs like English and Psychology.

PattyLMT, I don't think that having a prior degree matters..in fact I don't remember it even being asked on our application. I know it is asked on our FAFSA so they would know from looking at that. I have a prior Bachelor's and I rec'd an email. Don't get discouraged...some people have rec'd their emails yesterday!! The email process will probably take all week....also, there are only a few dozen people that even post on this string, so many other people out there are probably receiving emails....

i have a ba degree so your previous degree isnt a factor. like i posted yesterday, i recv'd 2 emails from 2 different analyst so they have their wires crossed so hopefully there are more emails to go out. also you cant go by what is posted on this site, remember there are prob hundreds of folks that did/didnt receive emails that arent even on this site. keep praying!
To all those waiting, please don't loose faith. I am waiting as well, but I refuse to believe that if I don't get this scholarship all is doomed. I honestly believe that if I don't get this one, some other door WILL open for me. Keep praying.. It's not over!!
Also, prior degrees and credit have nothing to do with anything. Once you're in the correct preference group, who knows. It could be the luck of the draw....
That's funny that you have a BA because last year it seemed that all of the people who were second degree students got rejection letters. Maybe you got lucky and slipped through the cracks somehow.
