VA HPSP 2021

Published

Hello!

I was just curious - has anyone else applied to for the VA HPSP scholarship this year? Specifically, the PMHNP track! 

Has anybody that was given alternate status taken off and given scholarship recently.

Does anyone know the different status changes once you’ve submitted your application?

Hello. Has anybody heard anything that was considered an alternate? Back in September I was placed as an alternate and was told will be reconsidered within 3 months. I start school in January for ABSN.

I was placed on the alternate list mid July, emailed the specialist and said they might consider me for Spring, in a few days, I was offered the scholarship for fall. Praying for you guys! Keep checking everyday!

Thank you so much @Kikomimi for this information. I was recently placed as an alternate too. When sending an email did you inquire about an update or expressed that you were still interested?

Showing results for 'Re the HPSP scholarship, I saw a few posts last year discussing the residency programs for PMHNPs. I have been accepted and will be obligated to fulfill a 2 year plus 6-month contract, I am never leaving the VA, am heavily invested, just wondering where these residency programs are? I know that I will likely be relocated from Illinois, but maybe not! Thanks!'.

@2011MSN I am a bit late to the discussion, but was hoping you can answer my question. 

My wife is in HPSP program for NP- Psych. She finishes in May next year, but we got conflicting info on if she can choose site or VA sends her where they want her. Is there a choice or is it VA needs? I know you said you got to choose up to 6 places, do you get preference over non scholarship people?

Hi. I am a PMHNP student and VA HPSP recipient. My graduation is May 2024. Just curious if you would mind sharing your wife's experience, now that it has passed. Thank you.
