Congrats to all who received a signature! Received finalist notification 8/8(?) and turned in my EVF and contract 8/11. Did not receive a summer EVF (probably because I had no summer classes?). Received countersignature at 9:30 AM today - it is an electronic signature at the bottom of the contract, under your own signature, by an "OFAM Approver"!

got countersigned 3:10 pm today
When you get the official notification, your portal will contain additional documentation including a packet of information that you are instructed to give your school. They will take it from there. I believe it is up to the school to bill the NHSC. The first payment might be a little rough, especially if you are the first student at your school to get this, but beyond that, it shouldn’t be too bad all the way through graduation unless you have something weird happen.

I’m so happy y’all are all getting signatures….BUT I’m dying over here of anxiety. I was a first round finalist but I didn’t get a summer EVF (& I did indicate I took summer classes). I submitted my paperwork 08/09. Can y’all please tell me to relax and have hope? 😭😭
same I'm dying over here lol
Notified 08/08, 1st round finalist
Submitted W4 and EVF 08/08, same evening
Countersigned today, 09/07
For the past few days was getting slightly concerned about not receiving a countersignature, and tried to make myself feel better by thinking about the benefits of working in private practice. Neither are bad options, but still glad to have received the countersignature and thus, the scholarship, today.
To @DentieBestie, @ehern, & the rest waiting on the signatures- they will come. You were a finalist, you will receive a countersignature from the government's end. No if's, and's, or buts. Wait with hope, my friends, don't let your hearts be dismayed. I look forward to seeing you at national conferences, orientation, in the CHCs, and to be a part of the workforce with you all ♡

Just downloaded my contract and I received the countersignature today at 3:13pm EST from Jamie King!!! I was notified I was a finalist on 8/8, submitted the W-4 and EVF on 8/11. I submitted for 2 years of funding for dental school! No email about a portal change and when I logon to my portal it still says “Accepted Award - Under Final Review” so make sure you’re downloading the contract to check!! Good luck ya‘ll!

when would we start contacting our school's bursar office for refunds and such? is it after an official email?
I received countersignature on 9/2, but my portal has not been updated. Did you go to the applicant section or the participant section?

mine hasn't been updated yet either. it still says "Accepted Award - Under Final Review"
I would wait for the email. You’ll get more information at that time.
Does anyone know when the stipend will be released? 🌚

The documents might not be available yet. When the award email comes, it will tell you that you have messages/documents available in your portal. There you will find a “Welcome Kit” that should have instructions for your school, an award letter, and some other resources/documents for you.
End of October/1st week in November
What was the latest ppl received countersignatures per previous threads?
Guys, it just happened. I got my countersignature at 8:24 this morning!! Does everyone's contract say "optional contracts" within the contract itself and just have one signature? It says signed for 4 years of service for 4 years of scholarship so I'm assuming I'm okay but still

I’m not exactly sure but I definitely remember seeing people posting well into the September 20s (21st, 22nd, 23rd, etc) last year in the thread

Got mine 9/7 at 9am and got the email today at 5:30pm but my portal has been in participant mode since yesterday
I went to role-> participant-> messages and they said “You will receive an additional notification when your new award documents are available. To access documents in the BHW Customer Service Portal, visit the 'My Service Information' section in the right-hand column of your portal home page and click View My Service Information and Documents.” And i clicked the blue part

If you get this scholarship do you have to work immediately after graduating or can you do residency if you want?
Can you work in any underserved area you want or do they tell you where you have to work?

residency only for pediatrics or geriatrics or GPR (primary care only)
you get to choose and apply but it's based on availability i believe

portal site is down -- guessing theyll update with documents or something soon :O
Congrats to everyone! I received it last year (looking at my Snapchat flashbacks and thought of you guys). If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. It’s pretty straightforward from here, especially if your school knows what it’s doing. I literally don’t have to do anything but attach an unofficial transcript to a form every semester.
I got my ORC + lump sum for the 4-5 months at the end of October.
Also note, if the ORC seems too good to be true, it may be. My school added in living costs (which is covered by stipend) and I had to return 2/3 of it. A few students were panicking a bit and had to take out additional student loans to pay it back when they contacted us months later.

I think I had the longest wait time last year between signing and official email so don’t panic, it’s official!

thank you for sharing! how can you tell between stipend vs ORC when they're deposited into our bank account?
how much should ORC be around? since we know that stipend should be around $1400 before taxes
