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.
Hello my fellow students! Just wanted to thank all of you lovely, OCD people for making me look into my spam folder, where my first email from HRSA was hiding. You are the best, and I hope many, many of you will get this scholarship (including me, of course).

I think they said they wouldn't post this info until next year's application comes available. They are the most disorganized, absurdly uninformed group I have ever encountered.
I just got a confusing email that has a spreadsheet attached, asking me for information like how much my tuition is, etc. I am hoping this means I get selected??? Maybe they are trying to see how many more awards they can give out? Did anyone else get this email??? I never got the first email, I AM SO HOPING THIS MEANS I HAVE BEEN SELECTED!!!!!

I got it too. The email wasn't written very clearly so I'm not entirely certain what this is for? It says "selected" applicants from the final review pool - I wonder why not everyone? Or maybe it is everyone?
Whatever. Not overanalyzing. They say jump, I say "how high?" and go back to not thinking about it. Got other stuff to worry about too.
Edit: And now it's being recalled, 60 seconds later? I'd like to second the earlier post about them being the most disorganized group of people on the planet.

I just got it as well, and then received another one saying it was recalled, so I guess we dont need to fill it out.
Ah, it was meant for school representatives. That makes so much more sense. I was looking at it going "man, are they sure they want ME to figure this all out?!"
Hey, at least now I know to pester my representative to be on the lookout for the email and GET THAT THING DONE. :-D
but i thought those of you in ca would be interested...
