UCF 2017 Accelerated Nursing Program

Published

Hello,

My name is Yuan and I am applying for UCF 2017 Accelerated Nursing Program. I noticed that there was a thread every year on this forum for applicants to share their status and progress after application. So this is what this thread is for.

As for me, I have

Teas: 85.3% ( I might take it again at the beginning of January)

Overall GPA :3.56 ( it's not great:( )

Prerequisite GPA: 4.0

Good luck!

Which scholarship did you interview for? The one they send out to us in the email? Helene Fuld Health Trust Scholarship

Did they send you the invite to interview in the email? I unfortunately did not hear anything on the scholarship. Sad to know as I was really hoping to get at least half of the tuition paid for. Congrats to you though!!

Did anyone tried to speak to financial aid? I already been accepted to UF, and I would love to know if UCF will provide any financial assistance. Since we all have a Bachelor's degree already, we won't be eligible for the grants, right (if we used it during first Bachelor's)?

Does UF provide any scholarship assistance? I was going to apply to UM, but I realized that there is no aid and the program is way too expensive. I do wish people talked more about financing a second bachelor's degree. I know for grad school, you can basically take out as many loans as you need. I'm almost considering applying for PA programs as I have all the prerequisites for it.

I interviewed as well. It's probably safe to assume they wouldn't consider you for a scholarship if they weren't considering you for admission, but I could be wrong.

I get loans from UCF even though I have a degree. I've never had an issue with not having access to loans. Also, UCF often has various scholarships available.

I would agree that the interview for the scholarship is a good sign for admittance. I was denied the Helene fuld scholarship before an interview so I'm sure they have known who will get accepted or not and factor that in.

When you submitted your application for Helene Fuld Scholarship did you get any sort of confirmation email saying that your scholarship application was received?

I did not get a confirmation when I submitted it either, just an email of denial for the scholarship on Feb 22nd

Yes, it was the helene fuld scholarship that I interviewed for, and I don't think I got a confirmation e-mail. I agree that funding a second degree is so much harder... We do what we have to do to reach our goals, right? Good luck to everyone on this board!

When you said you were denied the scholarship, did you actually get an email saying you didn't get it? I didn't get anything. But I know it says they will give responses by end of month, so I am hoping maybe they will still interview me.

Well on UF nursing BSN program it states that you can only apply for financial aid through school of nursing after completing 2 semesters. I haven't really looked at Undergrad financial aid, as I know I won't qualify for grants, the only hope is some scholarship. And loans are gonna be the same no matter what school I go to. The cost of the program at UF is actually basically exactly the same as UCF.

Yes this was the email:

Thank you for your application for the Helene Fuld Health Trust Scholarship for Second Degree Nursing Students. The College of Nursing Scholarship Committee received a large number of competitive applicants. Determining the recipient of the Helene Fuld Health Trust Scholarship is always a difficult decision and is based on many factors.

I regret to inform you that you were not selected for an interview at this time. Unfortunately, the College of Nursing Scholarship Committee does not have the resources available at this time to provide a scholarship to each worthy applicant. Admission decisions for the Second Degree BSN program will be emailed in mid-March.

We wish you the best of luck!

If you haven't heard anything then I'd think you're still in the running! Good luck, and make sure to check your spam folders!
