hrubenstein Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Hi, did anybody else submit or is about to submit their application for the 2015 NHSC scholarship? Also, does anyone have an idea of the timeline it usually takes to hear something back from them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chabis77 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I think on the website it says recipients will hear back by September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nkaya12 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 It looks like there is more discussion on the dental school forum. From what I gather, there is a huge credit check sometime in mid to late June. In July, they send out finalist notifications. If you get that letter, you have pretty much been accepted for the scholarship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrubenstein Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 I thought there was an interview process involved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmbooth12 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I have not seen anything about interviewing for the scholarship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALI Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 So...has anybody discovered an update? I just checked SDN and it appears both MD/DO and Dental applicants have had credit checks from CREDCO on 6/11. Naturally I went to creditkarma to see if I was so lucky. Unfortunately, not yet. What about any other PA applicants? The review period was 6/16 - 6/26, so we're still early in the process. Crazy that some applicants had credit checks before their application was even under review... Anyone have ANYTHING to share??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmbooth12 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I got my credit checked on 6/11 according to CreditKarma. It was listed as being checked by CredCo so I called the company and they were able to tell me that it was HRSA that checked my credit. I am hoping that means good news!

SCPA Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 No credit check yet for me according to experian.. Hope that's not an ominous sign at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmbooth12 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 What's your HIPSA score? I wouldn't have a HPSA score yet because I am still in school...I believe that's important for the loan repayment program, but not for the scholarship?

Unless I'm mistaken Sorry -- I am referring to the loan repayment, not the scholarship. I wonder if the loan repayment works the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALI Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Absolutely nothing :/ No credit check, and still "Under Review" on the portal. Congratulations on your credit check :) I certainly hope we PAs will have some representatives in the ranks! I don't mean to be sour grapes, but I'm growing skeptical on how honest HRSA is with their selection process... They claim to start reviews with the Tier 1 applicants (EFNs, which only MD, DO, and DDS? qualify for) and then opt for Tier 2 (Disadvantaged Background) and so on. I am a Tier 2 applicant who has worked/volunteered, typically full-time, with underserved, impoverished populations addressing social and health disparities for the past 10 years--since graduating undergrad. That I'm not even getting a look doesn't make sense to me. In pure curiosity cmbooth, would you share your "tier"? Again--huge congrats to you!!! I do hope you're one of the luckies :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arod1289 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Hello all, I also applied and am waiting to hear back. Just read through all of the comments and wanted to wish everyone patience and good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrubenstein Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 I have been credit checked sometime in the beginning of June but have had no correspondence from nhsc. I'm guessing I won't be hearing anything until they decide of scholarship winners? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arod1289 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I am currently in the same situation. My Status is Under Review. Hoping for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCPA Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 The first round of credit checks seems to have been early June of this year. I did just receive a credit check from "credco" on July 17. Anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRGiles Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I got an e-mail from NHSC today that stated this. You have an application update that requires your response and is time sensitive. Please log into your 2015 National Health Service Corps Scholarship Program You have until 07/31/2015 to respond to this request.

cmbooth12 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I did not...Congratulations though, I believe that means that you received the scholarship!

brie90 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Received the finalist e-mail and am now listed as "accepted award-under final review." According to threads from previous years, the next important thing to look for is a co-signature from HRSA that usually happens around August 20th-ish. Then we won't hear final word of scholarship awardees until around September 20th. Word on the street is that when you see that co-signature, you're golden.

Spoe Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I was just accepted into a PA program next summer 2016. When would I apply to this scholarship? I understand it is very difficult to get but I would still like to apply for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
