NELRP 2009

[oneLcrna]

I applied for the 2009 NELRP. I did not expect to hear from HRSA until September (IF I received an award). However, I was contacted by HRSA yesterday (June 15, 2009). They asked me to obtain pay off information for a few of my loans --- they had been unsuccessful with getting the info for those loans on their own, but did get the pay off amounts on other loans.

I asked the HRSA representative if this was a "good sign" and she responded that she could not confirm funding, but I am a "first funding preference" and "within range" (I think most who apply are "within range").

Questions: Has anyone else heard from HRSA this early?

Thanks!

I just wanted to say that I got my award this past thursday and I was not on the top 100 hospitals list. Might cheer a few of you up.

Got my award letter today......wahhooooo!!! My hospital wasn't on the "First 100" list. Good luck to all those that applied!

Congrats to all who have recieved their award letters and special prayers to all that are still waiting. This is my second year applying for the award and it couldn't be more nerve wrecking. However, I am hopeful because at least this year I have gotten some feedback (i.e. loan verification and award acceptance emails). I know there are no guarantees as we are constantly reminded by the NELRP reps until you recieve the letter with the golden ticket.:wink2:

The letter states the money will be deposited within 30 days of the contract signing. Mine was signed August 31st.

Odd. I don't see that anywhere on the papers they sent me. I signed the contract on 8/3 and it is now 9/10, so more than 30 days, and I haven't seen anything in my account yet... Anyone have any info on when they start disbursing?

The deposit is within 30 days of HRSA signing the contract. When you receive the award letter, a signed copy of the contract is included. I signed the contract early in August, but HRSA signed it 8/31.

hello all!!

i have come across this forum and my wife has applied for nelrp, i'm not sure if it's me or her that is more anxious to find out!:wink2: i figured someone would know this answer. she has received a verification of acceptance letter on august 25th which was exciting but not a guarantee, does that represent a contract or is that different piece of paperwork that comes? has anyone received the award that has receive a verification of acceptance letter? appreciate anyone's input. thanks again.

Well this is my 3rd year applying for this award. Each year I receive a letter that says I was accepted into the program, but monies were exhausted before my award could be funded. I'm hoping this year I will be funded. My ratio is 200%. I have not received any correspondence thus far. But as far as last year, some people were awarded without previous contact. So I keep checking my email for anything and check the mail.

Congrats to everyone who's been awarded. I WILL get this award this year! Keep me posted everyone. I like to know whats going on.

They signed mine on August 3. Where do you see that they deposit within 30 days? I don't see it anywhere.

Mtqu05~~~~If your wife does receive the award, you will actually receive an award letter in the mail stating that you did receive the award, a copy of your signed contract, and a notice of your monthly deposit amounts. This was our 2nd year applying and luckily enough, received our award letter a week ago. Keep praying and good luck!!

gudiarani~~~our award letter didn't say when the deposits will start. I couldn't find anything either about the 30 days.

OneLCRNA~~~where in your letter did it mention when the deposits will take place?

[oneLcrna]

hataway94 and gudiarani: On page 2 of the NURSING EDUCATION LOAN REPAYMENT PROGRAM PAYMENT AUTHORIZATION WORKSHEET (it is page 4 of my stapled packet of papers) it states: "*The first direct deposit will be made approximately 30 days after the start date of this contract."

Hope this helps! :)

hataway94 ---- so is the contract the verification of acceptance letter? if not did you receive the verification of acceptance before you received your award letter? hope that does not sound confusing.....

i'm praying for everyone! :wink2:

I have a pdf version of that contract from when they emailed it to me and even Acrobat cannot find that phrase anywhere...Now I'm confused. I've read through it numerous times now and I can't find any mention of when they disburse anywhere. Maybe I'll just call and ask because my contract was signed by them 8/3/09 so, really, I should have gotten this month's deposit by now, which I have not.
