Hey y’all! I’m about to submit my application, but just to clarify with those who have also picked through the NHSC guidelines: we are not required to label each document with our name, last for digits of our ssn, and discipline? Just want to have some peace of mind before hitting that submit button 😅

Hello everyone! So I am in the process of checking my application before I submit and I had a quick question. For the authorization to release form did you guys write your SSN? I saw on their presentation that it was needed but it doesn't have a space on the form and it doesn't say anything in the application guidance about an SSN for this section. Thanks

Hi everyone, I am a reapplicant who did not get the award last year and wanted to know if anyone else is reapplying and knows about the chances of getting the scholarship as a reapplicant. Are my chances less since I am now only eligible for the 3 year award?
Best of luck to everyone!

For the number of years you want funding, can you just put 2 years if you are a first time applicant?

Crap. My verification of good standing form was filled & signed digitally instead of printed, filled, and scanned. Too close to the deadline to find the registrar and re-do ... will my app be dismissed immediately?

I think we should be fine.
As long as the signature is there and everything is clear.

I thought the only one that needed a physical signature was the authorization to release form. My verification is also digitally signed.

i feel like having someone print something , signing it, and uploading it is way too old school. Most schools will probably just upload a signature

did you guys add the question before your essay answer or just uploaded your response alone?

I just put ‘Essay ____’ (1, 2, 3) at the top of each essay indicating which essay they are. But no, I didn’t add the actual question!

The folks who filled out the verification of acceptance form for me said I am not in good standing, but continued to document it as because I don't matriculate until August. Does anyone else have this on theirs? and will it be a problem?

hi all! Is there any way to check our app or sign in since the application is already closed?
 
On the website they said they awarded every eligible applicant last year. They also said they got more funding this year from the American Rescue Act. Good luck to everyone that applied!

I noticed on the website that they also provide support for “any other reasonable education cost”, does anyone know what those may entail?

I have heard of people getting their loupes covered based on this since it is a required purchase.

Edit: unless this is just simply referring to the “other reasonable costs” section which could include loupes, but is mainly for things like books, health insurance (if your school requires it), etc. There should be a whole section in the guide about that.

Do you have a source? Because I applied last year and didn’t get it. Don’t know why I wouldn’t be eligible lol…

Does anyone know anything about the interview process? I assumed there was one, but have not found any information or forums regarding interviews since 2015. There isn’t clear instruction on further processes for finalists on the website either. Just curious in terms of interview locations, logistics, etc once finalists are chosen in the future!

They have not done interviews for at least 10 years if not longer. I received the scholarship in 2013 and there was no interview even back then.

My guess would be something was filled out incorrectly, or your letter writers didn’t follow exactly what they were needing to include, or a document was missing. Any of those would make you ineligible for the award.

Does anyone know how long should take to hear back if the application says "Under Review"?

Which means you were ineligible for another reason (if they are being honest that they awarded every eligible applicant). So a letter writer could have made a mistake and cost you the scholarship, or something out of your control.
