AT2PhysicianAssistant Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Anyone receive or accept an IHS scholarship? I have recently been awarded the scholarship to pay for PA school. Curious to hear from anyone who has accepted this scholarship in the past. How has it worked out for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AT2PhysicianAssistant Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 Well, so far I have had a great experience with this scholarship. They are paying tuition and I get a stipend every month to pay for living expenses. They include money for books and other expenses as well. I know they take out taxes for the stipend but not for the state. So, i'm sure I will have to pay a little back in taxes for that. Overall though, I think it is well worth all the support I am getting from them. If you are considering applying for this scholarship or you haven't looked into it you should! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you apply for this scholarship before you begin school or after graduating and before starting your first job? I am starting school this summer and am interested in applying for this scholarship/loan reimbursement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, really you get more out of it if you apply before school. I applied for it the summer I started. They didn't pay for my first summer semester but started in the fall. Let me know if you have any other questions. And congrats on starting school! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AT2PhysicianAssistant Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 And just for clarification I did not have to pay anything back in taxes for this scholarship. Before I applied this was a common myth I kept hearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCaswell93 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Hi! I'm interested in this program and am a RN currently starting NP school. How would you find out which hospital is at which rating or which hospital has a bigger demand for your field? Also does IHS accept new grads? Thanks for all the info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
