  2. Email the Foundation to notify us your documents are in the system. ed@nhsfoundation.org
  3. It takes up to 30 days to issue your scholarship funds.
Detailed instructions:
Use the AwardSpring system to submit the documents required to claim your scholarship funds. This is the same system you used to complete your application.
