begins.

Today I sent out my scholarship package to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for the Health Resources and Services Administration's Nursing Scholarship Program. According to their website, the program is competitive and there are usually a lot of applicants:
EXPECTED NUMBER OF AWARDS
The NSP for the 2010-2011 school year is expected to be very competitive. The Program anticipates more applicants for scholarship awards than there are funds available. It is expected that 500 awards will be made for the 2010 – 2011 school year.


PAST AWARDS
In FY 2009, NSP received 425 eligible applications and made 189 initial awards and 15 continuation awards.
In FY 2008, NSP received 340 eligible applications and made 169 initial awards and 5 continuation awards.

If selected, I would find out by July 31. If not, I should hear something concrete by September 30. I suppose that is in case those who are selected either turn down the scholarship or do not provide their additional documentation in time.

Today I also completed my online application for the Tylenol Scholarship Program. If selected, I should hear something by July 15th.

It looks like the month of July will be a test to my patience, well at least the last 2 weeks of July anyway.

And so the waiting game begins.
