DianafuturePA Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Hi everyone, According to last year's timeline, the application opened on March 15th. The 2024-2025 application will probably open in a few weeks. Just wanted to start the thread for this cycle. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paschoolamy Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Just a question to confirm, the NHSC scholarship does not have rolling admission right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdreamz88 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 When filling out the application and it asks for the specialty after putting PA as the discipline, does it matter which one we click out of the drop-down list they provide us? Will that hinder our chances of being accepted as a recipient if we do not choose family medicine? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billdog29 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 No it shouldn’t change anything on your chances of being accepted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct: the applicants receive acceptance around the same time each year (end of August thru September) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrubsandhugs Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Does anyone know if I had to decline last year due to deferring my application, can we use the same recommenders? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilliann Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Anyone know of example essays to read? I know I read a few for my personal statement so I was planning on doing a similar writing process. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay0621 Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Does anyone on average know how long the essay has to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This from the application guideline on page 53: "The essay response should be limited to a 500-word count or less (about a half of an 8.5 x 11 page with spacing)."

strawberry9090 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 So glad someone start this thread. I would also be interested in reading some older essays if anyone has any links. Anyone applying as a second year PA student? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PA091218 Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Does anyone know of anyone who applied and didn’t get the scholarship? I’m wondering how competitive it is to get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiesway2PA Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 (edited) For anyone who has applied this cycle and are in PA school already (without one full year of grades). What transcript did you upload (last degree only since they only allowed one upload of a transcript or combined Last degree earned AND current degree)?

chiprepa Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Any updates? Does anyone know how this impacts financial aid/loan if you receive the scholarship? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is about the time people started seeing credit checks on experian but I haven't seen anything yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdreamz88 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Does anyone know if they will notify us before running the credit score and which bureau they check? My report is frozen due to fraud and I don't want that to affect my application. Also if we have any negatives on our credit report such as unpaid medical bills will that affect our chances of also being chosen for this scholarship?

xoxbutterflyxox Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 They will not notify about the credit check it will happen automatically unfortunately! I have not had a credit check yet. I think it’s gonna happen soon like first two weeks of July Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
