| APPLICATION AND AWARD PROCESS |
| |
· Award Procedure |
| |
|
NHSC scholarship awards are very competitive; the Program anticipates more applicants for scholarship awards than there are funds available. The applications of individuals who meet the eligibility criteria are scored numerically. Where the application scores fall within the competitive range, the applicants will be invited to a personal interview. Applicants will be notified of dates, times and locations of the interviews. Applicants who do not meet the eligibility criteria or whose scores do not fall within the competitive range will not be invited for an interview and will be notified of non-selection. |
