Hi all, I stumbled upon this thread after I got the NHSC finalist email on 8/16. Up until that point, I had basically forgotten I had even applied, as these national scholarships are most definitely longshots. Now I'm a nervous wreck!
I did notice the credit check on my account earlier this summer, but at the time I got the notice from Credit Karma I freaked out thinking that someone had stolen my identity. Glad that wasn't the case!
Anyway, my background:
RN starting my first year in an FNP program today. Completing my last semester of an MPH program. 4 years as a nurse with 4 years in non-profit work (hunger-relief organization) before that.
I have been checking every day since I submitted my finalist contract on the 17th for a countersignature. I'm trying to remain hopeful, but the way politics and federal budgets are playing out these days, I won't feel relief until I get a congratulatory email.
For those finalists out there, please post if/when you do get the countersignature. Good luck, all!
