MEDICAL CLEARANCE PROCEDURE
IIE will automatically mail out a Medical Report Form to every candidate who is being offered a grant. The forms will be mailed out a few days after the grant notification for the Foreign Scholarship Board. It is the grantee's responsibility to have the form complete in full. Please note that you may not begin your grant until we receive written notification from the State Department that you have medical clearance.
The State Department will only accept medical reports on the original form. IIE can not fax medical report forms nor will IIE or the State Department accept complete forms that are faxed or not on the original form.
Be advised that you should not, under any circumstances, return your forms incomplete. If you send in the form with anything left out or with any test results pending, the forms will be returned to you and further delay the clearance process.
IIE is not permitted, under any circumstances, to send incomplete medical report forms to the State Department for clearance. If we do, they will be returned to us without clearance and will cause a further delay. Any form that is submitted to us incomplete will be photocopied and then mailed back to the student with a memo indicating what still needs to be completed.
Once we receive your completed health forms it will take approximately three weeks for clearance to be given so please plan accordingly. Please be further advised that medical forms are sent down to the State Department every Friday morning. If your forms are not in our office by close of business Thursday, you will need to wait until the next mailing to the State Department the following week.
The Medical Report Form must be receive at IIE within six weeks from the date you received notification that you have been selected to receive a grant. If there will be a significant delay in returning your forms, please notify your IIE Program Manager via email. We recommend you schedule an appointment to see your doctor well in advance.
After clearance is given, we will return the medical forms to you with a copy of the clearance memo attached. You are encouraged to carry these forms with you to your host country. |
