Hello,
I was wondering if anyone who has received this scholarship could tell me about how much the ORC allowance is? Is it a very small amount, like a few hundred, or is it 1,000, 2,000+? Thanks!

It's not a set amount. Your school's financial aid office estimates how much you're going to need, and then reports that number to the NHSC. It's also going to vary from year to year. (For instance, the ORC you receive for 3rd year is going to be a lot, because it covers USMLE/COMLEX 1 registration fees, etc.)

Mine was in the neighborhood of $1200-$1500 or so, for my MS3 and MS4 years.
