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 didnt get one either, getting really discouraged. I am kind of confused because i thought the first preference was those who were undergrad full time students, but seems l ike some ppl who are going beyond that have recieve their e mails. I didnt recieve either email so im thinking ill just have to suffer this year and try again ....boo.
No email here either but I am not trying again next year. After this year I will have struggled through 3 years of school and I am not signing a 2 year contract when I only receive one year of help. Besides I don't think I ever want to deal with HRSA again.
I have been reading these posts for a while now, sometimes I am encouraged and sometimes I am not. I live in Georgia and fit in the priority funding group. I am hoping that there are many awardees that have not been notified and I am one of them! Whatever happens, I will continue on my journey to finish(I have 3 summer classes that will conclude next week)
My analyst is CL as well. I'm thinking that everyone got both emails. I received both and I haven't called or emailed the analyst.
Have any of the people on here that had an EFC that was not zero received emails?
I have an EFC just above 0 ...
No email for me.... yep, not expecting one seeing that those of you with 0 efc's have not received one. I called yesterday. They told me there was a slim chance they would have enough money for those not in the first funding groups.. With that said, I think there's still a good chance that many of you with an EFC of 0 will get it-
NO WORRIES! I just spoke with an agent at HRSA and he said the first email was not intended to go out by any means. It was a mistake. The second email is just a clarification email. Nothing worth hooting your horn about. I would not worry if I were you. I did not receive the first email, but did get the second. The email just stated that funding awards got pushed back a month until Aug. 23rd.
I am on the phone on hold...I read the other posts and this other rep did not seem to want to help me. Maybe that was it. I appreciate this post so much. I would not know where to be without you all.
I don't believe anything HRSA says. I just talked to someone at the call center that told me they were still sending them out and all they meant is that they were being sent for review. She said she did not know why but they were doing them in groups and all the emial meant was that your application had been reviewed. So you never get the same answer from them.

That is what the second lady said to me. She said they were sending it out in "waves". Who knows? They both said it was a mistake-the first email that was sent out. This anticipation is killing me!
HRSA probably hates me now after calling them so many times. They probably put a big red X on my application but who sends such important notification through email. Like many others I empty my spam email box and don't look at it. Who wants to read how increase your member emails 20 times a day? Lets face it yahoo is not very reliable for sending and receiving sometimes. Called and changed to my Gmail account on Tuesday but the guy pretty much told me oh well if I missed the email I would be out of luck. Called again and the other guy said someone in the scholarship department would call within 72 hours, let's see if it happens. One lady there even told me to shut up. I am beginning to be happy that I didn't get an email, I am not sure I can handle 4 years of HRSA.

I wonder if you got the same lady I got. She was not very nice to me.
