Ejohns20 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Hi all! Starting this thread because I see some inquiries for the 2019 cycle being tacked on to the 2018 thread so I thought I'd start a new one. I believe applications for those of us starting our programs this year won't open until March and be due in May, but correct me if I'm wrong. Let's do this!!

kmelton25 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Sounds right to me based on the research I’ve done! Do you have any idea about how many of these scholarships are given out a year? I know they’re so competitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missroux Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Following! Recently accepted as well and looking into this as an option. I've read that the Loan Repayment Program might be better because it's easier to get into and has more locations to choose from. Can anyone confirm this?

Ejohns20 Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 @kmelton25 from what I understand, the number of scholarships given depends on how much funding they get from the gov't that particular year. Page 12 of this doc breaks it down by year https://nhsc.hrsa.gov/downloads/scholarships/nhsc-scholarship-application-program-guidance.pdf I heard a rumor that at one point way back in the day they gave it to anyone who applied but now it's obviously way competitive. I'm scared that this year it'll be cut deep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daydreamy Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Hey all! My program begins September 2019 and I am really excited to apply. Anyone know when the application opens for this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyLAX9 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I think from what I have read in the past years forums it is around the beginning of March but I wonder if it will be delayed this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PACalifornia Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Hi there! I will be applying to the NHSC Scholarship program. Can anyone give me the Pros/Cons of the program and why you are applying? I would love to talk to someone who is in the program/has finished the program. Please let me know if you can chat! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ejohns20 Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 After taking a stab at the application the first night: As I've seen be a problem previously (through previous years' threads), there is a discrepancy between the BHW (<2,500 characters) and the program guide (<500 words) on the length of the essays. Also, it says in the program guide to attach an unofficial transcript of the last institution attended AND your current institution, yet, on BHW it only allows for one transcript attachment. Any insight on either of these points guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hailstones Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Hey everyone! As for the specialty options, you can choose things like pediatrics, family med, psychiatry, women's health, etc. Are these all applicable for PA NHSC? In other words, are they all "primary care" in their eyes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your response! There's only one slot for an additional supporting document and I am planning on using that for EFN verification.

On page 43 of the program guide, "primary health services," is defined as: "Health services regarding family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, dentistry, or behavioral/mental health that are provided by physicians or other health professionals."

KSgirl Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Hey ya'll! On the degree information, where you have to put in the start and end dates, the application won't accept my dates because my program starts before July (it starts in June). Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do here, or have had this problem before? I could just put in the date for the fall semester as my start date, and leave the summer semester out? Should I just shift my program start date to whatever it will accept, or is this piece of the application very important? Thanks for your help!

It says right above what the dates they consider the terms. It's like August through June or something like that. I just plugged their dates that were closest to my school's calendar.

lschwart10 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Hi all, I sent the verification form to my schools financial aid office and they replied that their PA program does not participate in the program.
