ThanksYes, you have the option of declining the scholarship.

so EFN is not equivalent to pell grants ?
Hey, thank you for helping us out. I have a quick question do we have an option to turn down our scholarship if we are accepted? I just want to know if there is an option of turning back after being selected. Thank you!
Should I say my highest education received is a high school diploma even if I graduate with my bachelor's in like a month?
Read through the rest of this thread, your question has already been answered.I have not received financial aid award from my dental school yet. How do i know if school is going to give me any scholarship or not? we have to upload this document: RECEIPT OF EXCEPTIONAL FINANCIAL NEED SCHOLARSHIP to be signed by school financial aid advisor. How to know if we qualify for this or not?
Question regarding the Essays....Should I put my name and the prompt on top of the page?
I did. It said somewhere in the guide that every document submitted must include your name, discipline, and a third item I can't recall right now.Question regarding the Essays....Should I put my name and the prompt on top of the page?
This might be a dumb question but i'll ask anyways..... if I am including my US citizenship naturalization document should i include my first name, last name, discipline and last 4 digits of social security number?Directly from the sp guide..."Each document submitted must include the applicant’s First Name, Last Name, Discipline and last 4 digits of social security number."
I don't think you necessarily need to include the prompt. up to you.
Make sure they will write you one before requesting it. Yes, one academic and one non-academic.How does the LOR work? tell my writers before i start the actual app? and it's one academic and 1 non academic?

It is in the scholarship guide document. You should read the entire form before applying.thanks. they need to write it up before the deadline? and what are the requirements for non academic?

No, it's just because collaboration doesn't occur in medicine.So I'm an incoming M1 applying and I can't find 17-18 NHSC thread outside the dental forum --- is it dis-proportionally dental students who apply to the NHSC scholarship?

I have the same problem as well. They have my school with a different address. The best thing to do is to call them and ask.Okay I feel silly. I can't get past the degree information page. Under Professional health discipline I put Dentist/General practice. DDS for the degree. But when I search for the school it comes up empty. I'm going to Ohio State. I've tried Ohio State, The Ohio State, The Ohio State college of dentistry. I've even tried other schools I know of and the search result always comes back empty.
The heck am I doing wrong? Thanks!
I'm wondering the same! I might even print out that info and put it in the corner of every document I upload.Dumb question and sorry if its already been answered but do we need to include name disapline and SS on documents that are scanned like our birth certificate and verifcation forms and such that include that info in the page itself

i am stuck on this part as well. i just put september to may for each year. i dont know if i have summer classes in my dental school or not. my school doesn't have an academic calendar on the website.Hey everyone.
I am stuck on the Degree Information part of my application.. -_- I am requesting funding for all four years so I need to fill out the start and end dates for each year, but idk the exact dates.... The school I will be attending provides an academic calendar for up to year 2018, and I'm sure they don't have years 2019-2021 prepared yet. Do I have to input EXACT dates or can I just use approximate dates?
thanks. i'll do the samei am stuck on this part as well. i just put september to may for each year. i dont know if i have summer classes in my dental school or not. my school doesn't have an academic calendar on the website.
Yes. You can't really say much with only 250 words.so....2500 characters right?
pg. 39 of the application guide under required supporting documentation: "Each document submitted must include the applicant’s First Name, Last Name, Discipline and last 4 digits of social security number."Hey, I remember reading in last years thread that uploaded documents had to have something like a signature or social security number. Do we need to add anything like that? I haven't seen mention of it in the instruction packet, but wanted to make sure I didn't miss an important detail . Also, how are you going about getting a signed copy of proof of admission?
thanks!
Did that PDF copy of the verification of acceptance have a date on it? The one I found is from 2013-2014 and I can't find an updated form. I called them and asked about it and they told me that I don't need to fill that form out and I just need to send them some proof of acceptance with the dates of attendance. I'd rather just send my school the form so that they can fill it out.pg. 39 of the application guide under required supporting documentation: "Each document submitted must include the applicant’s First Name, Last Name, Discipline and last 4 digits of social security number."
i put my name, discipline (dentistry), & last 4 digits of my SSN on the top right-hand corner of each document.
proof of admission? are you talking about the acceptance report/verification of good standing? if so, i sent a PDF copy of it to the admissions office via email and one of the admissions officers told me she will print it out for me and have it filled out by the assistant dean then sent back to me.
The verification of acceptance form you can download from the NHSC application is updated. You can find it under template documents on the supporting documents page!Did that PDF copy of the verification of acceptance have a date on it?

I have not seen another thread for NHSC that is as popular as the dental. I usually follow this one to see what is going on. I am a current OMSI and this will be my second year applying.So I'm an incoming M1 applying and I can't find 17-18 NHSC thread outside the dental forum --- is it dis-proportionally dental students who apply to the NHSC scholarship?

no. i sent a blank copy. if you look at the top of the form, it states: "to be completed by a school official only."Did you fill out the form first before having them sign it or did they fill the whole thing out?
Ah dang I missed that thanks!no. i sent a blank copy. if you look at the top of the form, it states: "to be completed by a school official only."
idk what's taking the school so long to send the form back to me..... i was told i will get it by the end of last week. -_-
Are there any current recipients of this scholarship that can speak about what they thought made them a competitive applicant?

Thank you for the reply! Do you think it would be of benefit for me to talk about growing up in a rural community? My pre health advisor suggested to not make that my main point but I feel like it is significant to show that I know what I am getting myself into.Your essays and experience serving underserved population. They look for genuine people who have had a lot of experience working with underprivileged community.

I would say it wouldn't be a bad idea to make it a main point in at least one of your essays. I wouldn't harp on it exhaustively, but that type of information is definitely worth mentioning. I did in mine.Thank you for the reply! Do you think it would be of benefit for me to talk about growing up in a rural community?

I don't think so. Mainly essays and ties to underserved communities plus the rest of your application materials. This might help:what's this scholarship based on? primarily GPA?
