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.
Do you think they put in any thought into how much the tuition costs...like except people with lower tuition so there is more to go around, or except people with higher tuition because they will need it more? Just curious what you all think...because the application process doesnt seem to make that much sense!

Who knows..I have seen post from people who are going to private schools with very high tuitions...Mine for this semester is about 3500 and it will be about 4500 next semester and then I will be done. But then I have seen ppl who have gotten emails whose tuition is 8500

Yeah I saw the same things. Who knows how they pick! If they were trying to get more "bang for their buck", they would definitely choose you because they will get two years of obligatory service out of you in exchange for paying just one year of your school!!

I'm going to a private school, and my tuition per semester is $17,500. I hope that doesn't hurt me, but since letters are going to start coming out soon, there is no room for negative thoughts! Maybe somehow, it'll help me! Lol.

700 a year!! where do you go to school???? I use to go to Triton college in IL where it was only 74 bucks a credit hour which was AMAZING, but 700 a year is just crazy!
In the bay area at community college, it's 26 dollar per unit. Classess are usually 3-4 units sometimes 5. I don't know if you consider that cheap but it's pretty reasonable to me. And there are also fee waivers that you can apply for and then you don't have to pay anything!
Hah! Yeah, I'd call 20-something bucks per credit downright cheap. I doubt it's cheaper anywhere in the country. Your schools must be incredibly heavily subsidized.
University of Florida's tuition was considered a "best buy" at $110 a credit hour. Granted, it was also one of the top public universities in the country, but I think $100 or so a credit hour is reasonable anywhere.
My nursing school is an expensive private school, at about $15k per semester - but it's also an ABSN program, so it's short. Our coordinator confirmed that students from the school have been awarded the scholarship before, so it can't be based heavily on tuition or none of our students would have ever gotten the award.

Well actually FREE if you qaulify for the fee waiver! Haha! Well that makes me feel a little better! My tuition is almost 18000 per semester including fees. So I really hope its not based on cost although that would make sense.
My tuition is 13,000 per semester, but since I am in an accelerated program where I get a BSN in one year I hope that helps me. It is to their benefit.
