This looks like the screen I got after I initially submitted my confirmation of interest. Wonder why yours is different.Maybe you all already see something that looks like this? This is certainly not what I could see last Friday.

Agreed. Mine still looks like the pic I posted before.Site is back up. No updates.
Interesting. Mine still shows the same status as I previously posted. I would call. Better safe than sorry...Okay kind of freaking out now.
My page updated.
"Your offer to accept or deny participation in the NHSC scholarship program has expired. Your application will be removed from consideration."
I accepted the offer though. Should I call?
I called they didn't give me an answer, but said if I was denied it would have said something along the lines of "offer not provided". Was also told by the lady that there have been a lot of status glitches lately. She pushed my question up and I should hear back in the next couple of days. Hoping for the best, but feeling very down.Interesting. Mine still shows the same status as I previously posted. I would call. Better safe than sorry...
Sounds like a status glitch to me, anyhow. I bet you'll be okay.I called they didn't give me an answer, but said if I was denied it would have said something along the lines of "offer not provided".

Thanks! I hope that's the case. Will update when I hear back.Sounds like a status glitch to me, anyhow. I bet you'll be okay.
They did mention that this year will be more competitive. Also, I'm the only person in my class that applied so maybe there is just lower volume of applicants. But, I agree that it is odd that we are the only ones chatting on this forum about it.Interesting how we haven't heard of the other waves like in years past. I wonder if ~10% of the awards given are still for dental. I would have expected more of us to be chatting about this.
I know I'm one of five, if not more who haven't told me.They did mention that this year will be more competitive.

Last year it was the 19th, which might imply this year it would be the 20th.They're gonna make us wait until the 30th aren't they?
Maybe you all already see something that looks like this? This is certainly not what I could see last Friday.
For those of you that have been informed of being a finalist/ receiving the scholarship, are y’all med, dental, or PA students?
Also, is this your first time applying? What GPA did you apply with? Disadvantaged background or from a rural area?
i am in the same boat!I received an email that I was a finalist back in August. But have not heard anything back from them. Hopefully next week we can get our countersignarures. Good luck to everyone who is still waiting.
I had the second and third priority, and I am already a year into dental school. I never received a finalist notification. I really can’t understand how they are choosing this year.Is it a requirement to be from a disadvantaged background to receive this scholarship? What is even considered a disadvantaged background? I am a first-generation college graduate; I was awarded a scholarship in undergrad that's why I did not use federal aid, and I've interned at an FQHC dental office that was in a disadvantaged area near my undergrad school. I wouldn't consider myself as someone that came from a disadvantaged background; however, I did not believe that was important on receiving the scholarship since its listed as "third priority." Also, I know of 3 people in my current dental class that were awarded the scholarship last year. This year, not a single student in my class that has applied has heard back. Is it really possible that we will all be rejected? I thought they said they were giving out an additional 150 scholarships this year?
Yes, I hope that tomorrow will be the day. Good luck to everyone that is still waiting.Website is undergoing maintenance between 8PM-10AM 9/20-21- maybe we’ll know by tomorrow morning?
So I was told the other day that they simply do not have funds. They are prioritizing 4 years applicants due to this.
Government is essentially refusing to re-fund everything except the military, which unfortunately, affects programs like this one.Where did you hear this from?
Worth noting that in the Application Guidance for this year there is a note that says, "The number of years of scholarship support requested is not taken into consideration when determining which applicants will receive a scholarship award."So I was told the other day that they simply do not have funds.

Why be nervous when no one has gotten a signature yet? It's not like everyone else has one at this point. We're all waiting. I feel somewhat heartened by that.I'm starting to get a little nervous 😓 because by this time last year a lot of the finalists had their signatures.
I could be wrong but I believe that funding has already been allocated for 2023. The shutdown would affect funding for future years.if the government is shutting down and they have not voted on whether or not they are going to refund NHSC, how can any of us get the scholarship?
Ummm. My application portal now says "All awards will be made by August 19, 2024."![]()
Someone on Reddit told me they had called and the operator said that the date is still September 30th of this year. We could all check as well.oof mine also says this
well from what the guidance says to what they actually do when giving awards there is a big gap.Worth noting that in the Application Guidance for this year there is a note that says, "The number of years of scholarship support requested is not taken into consideration when determining which applicants will receive a scholarship award."
