I thought you weren't applying...
I'm reading it.
I thought you weren't applying...
You don't necessarily have to be economically disadvantaged. The document also assesses background disadvantages. If you're high school had lower SAT/ACT scores than the state average, higher percentages of students qualifying for free and reduced lunch, etc. I just took the chance and contacted my financial aid office to see if I qualified for anything and turns out my high school fit the bill. I know you can't see the files since you're not applying, so here's the disadvantaged doc so you can figure it out for next year.Apply next year but how does the economically disadvantage situation work out? My family is fine now but income was very low when I was growing up, we were on food stamps too. Does only college economic situation matter or ?
Yup! We gotta wait a few monthsGood luck!!!
Let the waiting begin!

Thanks!!Likewise!
Looking at the previous year's thread, there was a link that lets you check the status of your application. Does said link exist now? I can't find it... Also, did you guys ever get an email saying that you submitted your application? I only got a reminder to submit a few days before the due date...

Alright awesome, I'll check it out now. Good luck hopeful NHSC dentists!Yes, if you scroll all the way down you will see a gray menu... you will that under scholarships it has a link that says scholarship process.. if you click on it youll be directed to another page. Scroll down to the subsection where it says Prepare your Application, and there should be a highlighted link that says "Create an Account".. If you click on it, it directs you to the login page. Phew.
I never got an email either just the reminder to submit as well.

Yes, I couldn't agree more!Good luck to you too! I am sooo anxious! As much as I want this summer to go slow I also just want July/August to come so we know!
So when do they let us know? Thanks
Yeah, before you submit (and after you submit) you should see a page that says "all areas complete" or something similar. Why would your documents be considered incomplete?Do they send out an email letting us know that all of our documents were complete? I have this irrational fear that some of my documents won't be considered complete because of something stupid and minor lol

You'll be notified if you're a finalist, but that's a while from now. In past years, the NHSC runs your credit sometime in July. We still got looooooots of waiting to do.Also, do they let us know by email or what, if we get the scholarship

Yes via email. My understanding is that they want to make sure you haven't defaulted on a student loan, or have creditors after you.And why do they run your credit? Do you need great credit or something?
I think they run a credit score to determine if you are a finalist... Or at least that is what makes sense to me. Why run a credit check on someone who's not fit for the program?Does anyone know if they run a credit score if you are one of the finalists or is that just part of every applicants process??

From past threads it seems like only finalists get their credit checked.
I don't think my credit has been checked, but I'm an MD applicant. I wonder if that matters.
I'm sure they check everyone's credit who would potentially receive the scholarship regardless of program. As a few people said before, they want to make sure you haven't defaulted on any loans.
Yea I know they'll check every finalist's credit, but I meant maybe MD's get their credit checked later and dentists are first.
