just_me Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I know before they had been "contact" threads so people can kind of keep up with notifications and such...so heres another! Have you applied this cycle? Are you a new, 1st, 2nd yr student? I have ....applying as a new student of course. Trying to complete my last requirement for admissions by 6/30 so I can stay in the running for the scholarship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just_me Posted June 18, 2011 Author Share Posted June 18, 2011 Did you have to fax in any documents? If so did it take a while for them to show it as recieved? Oh and how long was it between submitting and acceptance? They had it posted that people will start to hear from July to Sept but I wonder how sure is that.... I was accepted for the 2010 cycle.

Michigander Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I applied for this coming year as a first year student. I did not fax anything, I uploaded attachments. In the email I got, it said acceptances go out by September 30, people on the waitlist find out if they got it by October 31. I haven't been to my orientation yet so I don't know how financial aid/loans work at my school yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just_me Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 I wouldnt wait for oreintation to find that out....I would call now and get that figured out. Our program starts the 2nd and the fin aid disburses on the 18th anyone that waits until the 2nd to figure that out iwll most likely get thier money later than the 18th I applied for this coming year as a first year student.

just_me Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 well I finally received notification that all my supporting documents are in!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmathews619 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I'm sorry for stating this but I am clueless as to what this NHSC is? Is it a scholarship or a grant, is it some sort of loan? If it is some scholarship how does one apply to it? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just_me Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 National Health Service Corps offers a scholarship and loan repayment http://nhsc.hrsa.gov/ When I typed NHSC into google it was the first thing to pop up I'm sorry for stating this but I am clueless as to what this NHSC is? Is it a scholarship or a grant, is it some sort of loan? If it is some scholarship how does one apply to it? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREATMDPA Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I applied as a second year. My program is 28 months, so it would be for 16 months if I got accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREATMDPA Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Has anyone heard from NHSC scholarship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haeriphos Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I applied and have heard nothing. I'm also keeping tabs on the SDN NHSC thread. I'm a second year student in a three year program so this would cover about 18 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haeriphos Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 According to SDN a bunch of people were notified yesterday by email (Friday 8/19) that they were selected as finalists. Keeping my fingers crossed that they're doing this in waves and that I'm still in the running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SerenityJH77 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I recieved a finalist notification...I am dying to know what this means, and what my chances are now!! Anyone have any idea about how many finalists emails were sent out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREATMDPA Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I recieved a finalist notification...I am dying to know what this means, and what my chances are now!! Anyone have any idea about how many finalists emails were sent out? I guess finalist means you've been selected to receive the award. Congrats. I'm keeping my fingers crossed as well.

SerenityJH77 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 The email specifically said it did not mean that we WOULD receive the award..But Im hoping it does...Thanks and good luck to you as well...If anyone knows of a previous finalist that did or did not make it...Can you let me know? We have a month before final notifications are sent...and I am not too patient! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haeriphos Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Congratulations Serenity! I think you have a pretty good shot with that notification in hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michigander Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I got one of those emails on Friday, too. I am hopeful that "finalist" means something very "final" because we had to give really personal information. I scrounged around on the internet but didn't find out any more information about finalist getting awards. I am not very patient, either, Serenity. On the other hand, neither is NHSC since they gave us five days (including weekend) to get stuff back to them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREATMDPA Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Just curious, Serenity and Michigander, what date did you submit your application? I'm trying to see if they do it in order it was received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michigander Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I submitted mine the week it was due (maybe the week before) because I had an issue getting one of my LORs. I did see on SDN that they seemed to do notifications in waves in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREATMDPA Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Looks like my application has been rejected then. I submitted May 16, three weeks before the deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jts Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Being a finalist is NOT the same as being selected to receive the award...it means, as it says, that you are a finalist. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emilyrandall Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I was hoping a NHSC participant w/ loan repayment could give me some insight into the program. It seems like a great opportunity, and I've done some research, however when I contacted NHSC I was told some statistics that seemed a bit frightening. I understand you must first be employed through an approved site, then apply for loan repayment, but when I asked about this I was told "it is extremely competitive, less then 10% of PA's who apply are accepted for loan repayment" I asked what increases the likelihood and I was told "total debt" when I told the rep my debt he said it would most likely "be impossible to receive loan repayment, and most candidates aren't looked at unless they exceed 130k".... I'm just starting PA school this May, but I like to do research and look at future options. Is this true? Do any loan repayment participants have any advice?

joanna.nola Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I'm also curious how folks loan repayment applications went this year. I will be applying this coming cycle I hope. I'm still in clinicals, but my last rotation is through the SEARCH program, which is an NHSC program. Emily, I think you got bad information. My understandibg is that the likelihood of getting the loan repayment is higher than you state and has more to do w the site's HPSA score than your loan amount. I'm going to have about 90k in loans.
