That's the only thing I can think of for how they sorted apps Program name is later in the alphabet, but not the end. People from our program in the year above said they found out on the last day last year, so maybe they just do that for our program? We shall see!

WOMENINMEDICINE Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Yes. I was wondering the same regarding tuition. Do they pay back the tuition we had to pay for utilizing loans? And then we can pay back the loan with what they send? A previous scholar told me that they don’t pay back what we already took outlet for this semester. Hoping that’s not true.

The National Health Service Corps Scholarship Program will pay that amount to the academic institution to cover the tuition costs covered by the loan. After the fall 2023 semester, the National Health Service Corps Scholarship Program will not pay tuition costs covered by any student loans.

My school is having trouble contacting NSHC regarding the invoice for tuition payments. Is anyone else in the same situation? The lady over the phone told me to message them and wait a few days for an answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuturePA232 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Hi all! I was recently accepted to a program and I'm very interested in applying for the NHSC scholarship. My concern is that they require an academic LOR, but I graduated undergrad more than a handful of years ago, and I’m not sure how many professors would remember me. More recently, I've taken prereq courses, but I didn't have any "strong" relationships with those professors as they were one-off night courses for the most part. My PA program starts August 2024, so I assume that I won't be able to ask them for a letter either I can't imagine that I'm the only one who has been in this position. I was hoping to get some advice on what others have done? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
