Hey everyone..

I have been following this thread from like the beginning.. Congrats to everyone who is being awarded the scholarship!! I'm still waiting and I'm getting very nervous about it 😔.. I have yet to see a credit check either.

Hang in there. 8/11 was the end of the first round to accept, so they should be sending out another this week. Those of us who have accepted are still playing the waiting game as well, as it clearly states we aren't guaranteed an award. Fingers crossed the process speeds up for us all

Hopefully this will be the week for good news to the rest of you who are waiting! Good luck and keep posting! (:

Thanks! Did you get final word?

I don't think anybody who submitted the Verification and W-4 have heard anything. I have not and I submitted it all the same day I got notification, which was 8/4

Positive Vibes for everyone this week â˜ºï¸í ½í±

Thanks! Did you get final word?

No not yet. I think by next week we should, or at the very latest first week of september! Will keep you posted (:

Thanks best of luck I think everyone deserves this opportunity. It will be a blessing for us all.

Whoa! Somehow I had recently found a different topic on this same topic, but it was only a couple pages long! Was pretty surprised that it wasn't something more like this!

I submitted my final documents on August 14 and am waiting now in "Under Final Review." Does anyone know about how long it takes to get the final stamp of approval??? Last year's forum looked like it was ~3 weeks. Has anyone received the participant confirmation?

Good luck everyone!

edit: Anyone else here at the University of Washington?

For those of you that have called, what number are you using? I have some questions about reimbursement for the fall semester.

Hopeful30:

I called using the number shown on the application page, or on their website. I spoke to them for about an hour about reimbursements because my program started this summer. Since it's only five quarters, I was bracing myself to miss out on 20% of the funding. BUT, they assured me that I would be paid for everything from July 1 2015 until the end of my program, even though my classes started on June 20th. My concern came from the fact that I had to take out student loans, which had to be disbursed before July 1 to pay for summer. They were very reassuring as I pried every detail about that. The reimbursement will be "prorated" for the summer, meaning I miss out on 9 class days value of funding, or almost 2 weeks out of the 9 that this summer term is. This means that I will get about 80% of what the school says the summer term costs.

All of the amounts that go into that amount are determined by the way they certify your scholarship, and what HRSA has set as "Other Reasonable Costs" which doesn't include housing, food, insurance, etc. They expect the $1321/month stipend to cover all of those. This just means that I will be left with a good student loan still, even by using the back-paid stipends that will be disbursed 60 days after being confirmed as a participant.

But, that is just fine with me! A small amount of student debt is WAY better than the alternative, and I am so thankful to have any amount of help here!
