I corrected the issue and sent the page back to Scott. I am glad they give us an opportunity to correct any error on our application. Yes, I was so grateful especially because I applied on the last day and he reached out after the deadline. But they mentioned that they did not receive 2 of my forms which was odd because I know for a fact I submitted them in my application so I just wanted to know if anyone else experienced this. Thanks for your response! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECB1994 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Anyone know when we should expect to hear back?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han2018 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 @ECB1994 Someone posted that they select the majority of recipients mid to late May, but reading back to last year people still hadn’t heard a final decision well into June. Feels like the same kind of stressful/hopeful waiting game we played for interviews and acceptances into PA programs! Fingers crossed for everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWell1901 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Since I am going to be going to an quite expensive school, I'm not holding my breath about getting the scholarship, though it would be a dream! I do think it is kind of interesting that they start evaluating candidates before the application deadline, though they don't mention that on their website, only on an additional FAQ packet I was sent after emailing a few questions. By that time it was already April, so my application was only about 2 weeks before the deadline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChasingTheDream Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 (edited) Just hang in there everyone. I know a few students who received the scholarship a week before their program started in the Fall (both had 2 years left). They were even told that they would have to pay the first semester, but would have the rest of their semesters covered (they were eventually fully covered in the Fall). Since PA schools start/end at different times, money becomes available at different points in the year. I'm not sure how much money the VA received for the scholarship program this year.

It can be any rotation. My school already had an agreement with a VA hospital so it was easy for me. Reach out to Mr. Dixon, the coordinator, if you think it might be an issue. Hi, are you a recipient of the scholarship? Did they mention anything to you about what the relocation factor is like once you graduate? Do you get to chose a VA or do they place you? I just applied and I am wondering what the selection process for sites to work at is like! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAinNOLA Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Just got this response from Mr. Dixon today: "The competition is very steep this year. 314 applicants for the PA Scholarship, 271 Qualified applicants, 16 already selected, 1 declined. Possible 30-40 scholarships will be given out for PAs." 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWAPA Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Anyone else out there still waiting on news? I received the previously mentioned email about being well qualified and referred to the next step of the decision making process, but haven't heard anything further. Slightly nerve wracking to read about acceptances and alternate list placements. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jvick5345 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Been reading this thread since I submitted my application. Thought I would chime in. First off, I have not heard anything since I submitted 29APR19, and was reffered on 03MAY19. Second, has anyone gotten any new information? As someone mentioned above I am incessantly checking this site and the job portal. Not to mention the spike in my blood pressure everytime I get an email notification. Good luck to everyone.
