Hello! I have a quick question regarding letters of recommendation also. It specifies in the information packet that the academic letter needs to be from the most recent academic institution - my academic letter would be from the institution that I attended for the longest amount of time. Would this disqualify my academic letter?

What exactly is proof of certificate under the supporting documents part of the application?

I have 3 questions, I don't think that I'll be able to ask over speaker because everyone is like sharks trying to ask their questions lol.1. if I already started my program and received a Government student loan, and making payments to my school for what I owe that didn't get covered, will this scholarship pay me back for what I have already paid? and will my fafsa loan get cancelled be replaced with this, how does that work?2. Can we still work part-time and receive the scholarship?3. Is there a place where we can review the powerpoint after this?

I have spoken to a rep and he decided to escalate my concerns to the coordinator. I have re-checked my answers for errors, but have answered everything correctly. Is there anyone that can help me after this meeting?

could you please clarify the direct-entry MSN program requirement? Do applicants need to have a RN license in order to apply to the scholarship?

See page 12 for Letter of Recommendation details

Thank

Thank you for that

Can you apply for scholarship if you had a foreclosure in the past.

Me too. I have a question as well!

I've had my hand raised for the majority of this meeting time.

Thank you all, this has been very helpful and good luck to all the candidates!

I am still baffled why direct entry MSN who are working on RN and may have it before next school year begins do not qualify for this scholarship. Others who are working on RN do qualify. Does not seem consistent or equitable.

What exactly is proof of certificate under the supporting documents of the application?

How does not having experience in a underserved area work with the scholarship?

Can you apply if you have had a foreclosure in the past.

Once an application is successfully submitted with all requirements fulfilled, what would contribute to an applicant not getting selected?

Page 22-29 obtaining a position at a critical shortage facility and eligible facility types

Does this scholarship program only apply to RN, NP programs? Currently looking at DNP program and wanted to see if this applies as well. Thanks

I have a very specific question that is unique to my program and there is not an answer outlined that I need direct assistance with.

Does the apg address concerns if you have no experience in under served areas?

We will take one final question

who do we send the for to fill out for the application?

form

Can a lpn apply to this scholarship?

Candance, are you asking how to begin the application?

yes
