Anyone else waiting for the board results to come out from last weeks boards?
Got the call today. Accepted and will be commissioned in October. Because it's late, I was told I would have to pay for the 1st semester, but would be reimbursed afterward. I will also receive the stipend, which they will apply after I am commissioned.
Navy for me.
Wait, how were you called for Navy today when they ran out of scholarships almost a month ago?
I don't know where you heard that, but my recruiter called me today saying that the board convened and I was accepted for the 4 year scholarship. I won't be commissioned until October, nor will they be able to pay for my first semester, but I will be reimbursed. He said I will receive the benefits of the stipend right after I am commissioned as well as the $20,000 bonus. I have read all over this site that scholarships have run out too, but after receiving the call today, apparently that is not true, or we are missing some small details. I won't be commissioned until October, which is the next fiscal year, so maybe all this talk about scholarships is in regard to the previous fiscal year. I won't receive any financial aid until the next fiscal year.

Yea, that would be disappointingCongrats, i know a couple of people that were supposed to commission in Oct but it got pushed back to March. Have faith it'll come through!
Thanks for the clarification Junkie. That clears things up.You're right in that you're receiving the scholarship for the next fiscal year. The current FY2010 has run out of HPSP scholarships, but now they are awarding scholarships for FY2011, which begins the 1st of October. If awarded a scholarship for FY2011, they will back pay for 1st semester/quarter tuition and begin your stipend on the 1st of October.
Congrats on receiving the scholarship and go Navy!

Spoke to Navy Recruiter in AZ...stated still around 20-25 4 year scholarships left...
Someone mentioned to me the other day that their recruiter told them that you only have 5 days to sign the paperwork if they offer you a scholarship. If this is true.. then how are there so many granted but unclaimed scholarships? Did anyones recruiter tell them what spot they had on the OML and if they are giving people at the top of that list a 4 year scholarship?
My final papers were submitted early April after I was declared physically qualified (which is just your papers from the physical being o.k.'ed). I started the application in late January/ early February. As you may have found out, it's a tedious process. I waited a couple weeks and didn't hear anything so I contacted my recruiter and he said we were just waiting for the board to convene and they do so every couple of weeks. I got the call from my recruiter last Friday, so they probably met and decided either Thursday or Friday. So wait at least two weeks, then contact your recruiter if you haven't heard anything. Just to see what's up or if he had heard anything. Just like applying to dental school, it takes patience.I am finishing up my 4 year Navy HPSP application as I type this. I've already been to MEPS and think I am officially done with the application.
For those of you who have heard from the Navy recently,
-How long after you submitted your application did the boards meet?
-How long after the boards met did you hear confirmation that you were being awarded the scholarship?
I'm trying for the October 1 commission for 4 year HPSP as well and am interested to see what kind of timeframe I'm working with here. Any help would be appreciated.
Not according to the NRC.
Just talked to Lt. Peterson from the NRC and he specifically said that there were no 4 year scholarships left for the FY2010. They're trying to see if they can pull some funding from FY2011 to bring on more 4 year HPSPs for the graduating c/o 2014. Good luck everyone.
I spoke with Lt. Peterson today too and he told me the same thing. Some recruiters (mine included) seem to have inaccurate info.
Tiankum.... Great info thanks!
So according to posts above, the Navy started awarding HPSP for c/o 2014 commissioning in October? Correct?
Has anyone gotten any new info? I am still kinda lost because I have no idea where I stand on the OML or what the Army is doing with funding and scholarships. How do some people know that there are unclaimed scholarships that could still be awarded to others if the offers are declined? I wish there was somewhere where I could know how many spots are potentially still available and a date I would know by besides "later this summer". I have already been told the Army reshuffles the OML, but I feel like I have NO WAY of knowing where I stand!
