Members don't see this ad.

I certainly hope that is the case.



I did some digging and found this from a thread in 2011. Keep in mind I have no way of fact checking this info.

Obamas budget for 2016 was passed in 2015. So the funding was already established for this year. The scholarship is for 2016 and the funding did not change from 2015.

All this speculation is very interesting. I hope Ace is right. I'm not comfortable with this waiting right now. But seeing that a lot of us are in the same situation I would think this is normal and the countersign are coming soon. There's too many right now to deny that much of the scholarship.

This is true. I can't imagine that our potential scholarship would be based on the budget proposal for 2017 since it technically begins paying in July which is still the 2016 fiscal year. I am glad that you posted that link. I wasn't aware that the NHSC received a 2 year extension on the mandatory funding provided by the ACA. Either way, I think we are just letting our nerves get the best of us. I'm sure we will see counter sigs soon. We just need to be patient.

It's only speculation. Try not to stress too much, there is way to much of that in professional programs already. Lol

I mean, it's now a signed contract, which is legally binding. If they don't offer it to you, it would be a breach of contract.

Side note: I'm obviously NOT a lawyer, but you signed a contract, they signed a contract....

They could breach. Unlikely but certainly not impossible.

If they breach, do they owe us 3x what they were supposed to give us?? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

[zskf61987]

Are there any finalists that didn't get counter-signatures?

 

[FlossBoss19]

Are there any finalists that didn't get counter-signatures?

That would be me

 

[PAdiggs]

Are there any finalists that didn't get counter-signatures?

Yes, I haven't gotten counter-signed yet either. I received my finalist status the first week of August though and submitted everything August 5th. Has anyone who submitted in August already been counter-signed? It seems like only those who received finalist emails in July have been counter-signed, but I'm not sure.

 

[zskf61987]

Just hang tight guys. I'm sure they will come soon.

 

[deleted778326]

Anyone else get any CS recently?

 

[chasseurducam]

Anyone else get any CS recently?

Nothing and it's driving me crazy. Though they lost my return app (the one after I was told I was a finalist) and I had to refile it, so maybe that has something to do with it.

 

[chasseurducam]

Never mind, countersigned at 3:12 pm! Never really posted but thanks to all who posted info on this thread, really helped!

 

[PAdiggs]
