Hey all,
I am particularly interested in advice from people who did the NHSC scholarship vs. NHSC Loan Repayment.
I already received an amazing offer of a full-tuition scholarship to medical school with a stipend of 833/mo and subsidized health care.
Is there any point in applying for the NHSC Scholarship with such a generous award? The only reason I am thinking of it is because NHSC also covers fees, and has a slightly higher stipend.
Now that I am writing this out, it seems pretty foolish to apply for the NHSC Scholarship. The Loan Repayment might be nice down the line though for the loans I will have to take out to cover the remaining fees/cost-of-living.
I guess my main question is, if you already knew you wanted to do primary care in underserved areas, was there any major downside to accepting the NHSC Loan Repayment?
Thanks!!
