nicholet9 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Is anyone who's referred not a Veteran? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBroder3 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) I was referred today and I'm not a Veteran. I applied 04/23/2020 for the HPSP-BSN, but like Ken, this forum has been super helpful so I have been following it. I hope you PA's don't mind we're all tagging along.

Okay I’m going to say this just to clear some confusion. Every single applicant gets referred if you properly filled out the forms and meet the minimum requirements. Once referred the selection committee may take one day or until mid-July to accept, reject, or put you on hold (normally all final decisions are done by mid-june but with the deadline extended it might be later like July). I know this because I was accepted in early April this cycle and applied last year as well. Waited last year until mid June to discover my fate. Also from my understanding there are separate pools depending on your profession, so I do not believe there is cross competition but that is merely an assumption. Best of luck everyone. P.S. - no I am not a veteran but I did volunteer at my local VA hospital Apology accepted @PApplicant19 Edited May 5, 2020 by uwbadger11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s like you were reading my mind because I was just about to ask if we only go against our profession or everyone. You were accepted this year in April? Do you mind sharing the timeline? I know it’s different for everyone but I’m curious how yours went if you don’t mind sharing! @uwbadger11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it’s different for everyone but I’m curious how yours went if you don’t mind sharing! @uwbadger11 I submitted my application March 25th or sometime around that date, and I was offered a scholarship April 10th. I accepted the offer. I had all my materials ready to submit early but was having trouble getting in contact with my previous employer for a reference otherwise it would have been submitted like March 6th. I learned from last year that they offer scholarships in a “rolling” fashion so I made sure to apply early. I have 17 months that will be covered by the scholarship, I started PA school in August of 2019. Edited May 5, 2020 by uwbadger11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might do a round every week or every other week but I’m not exactly sure how they space it out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBroder3 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 @uwbadger11 Thank you for your input and help! I was thinking everyone would be "referred" but wasn't sure either. I also heard they only reserve a certain amount of scholarships for specific roles as well. Congrats on the scholarship! Second time was the charm! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBroder3 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 So, in the depths of my insomnia, I checked on my status. I was "referred" now I am back to "received." That's probably a sign I was not selected, right? Anyone else change to "received" or are most of you still in "referred" status? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still says received. Haha maybe I’m not even being considered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uwbadger11 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I was accepted and my usajobs status still says received so don’t look too much into the status. They email you if you are selected, on-hold, or rejected. It can be very soon or a while before you hear anything. All depends on the selection committee.

emccoskey Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I received an email a couple of weeks ago saying that I did not get the scholarship at this time but I am on the alternate list and they will let me know by September. I’m optimistic as it’s still early! Best of luck to everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw in another forum that they often pick from the alternate list! Delayed but not denied Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone who mentioned they received the scholarship last year on page one of this forum (I think sandie something) and I went to her page and she was apart of this forum that I found. Also there’s one on Student Doctor Network but it’s not as informative as the PA forums are! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicholet9 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Did anyone submit their application after May 1st and hear back yet? I'm trying to be as patient as possible but it has been a week without any updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jminugh Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Just got my rejection email today, got my referred email on May 1st and was notified today about not being selected. Definitely bummed out but I wanted to do the NSHC scholarship anyways so hopefully I have a shot at that! I am a first year PA student and asked for two years of funding. Good luck to the rest of you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierPAS Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Also received my rejection email today... definitely a little bummed as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
