NELRP 2009

Nurses General Nursing

Published

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 am now completely insane. I am spending all spare time searching for more information. :typing I think I found some. :yeah: Check out this website http://bhpr.hrsa.gov/recovery/ and post what you think. Scroll down to the middle section showing NELRP money available....27 million. That sure is a huge difference from the recently released 8 million. Maybe there is hope for us all!!! Please Lord!!!!

my loan is about 10K. let's say i make about 40k/year, what are my chances of getting this?

Hotshot, If I remember correctly you would need to owe at least 40 percent of your annual income to qualify. You owe 25 percent. Also this program is very competitive and does not seem to be awarded to those less than those owing 100 percent of their income. Don't take my word for it, but I don't think it is very likely.

I am dying to know... Has anyone heard anything? I keep checking the HRSA.gov website hoping for another disbursement press release....AARGH!
