Nelrp

Published

I am just curious as to what the max. dollar amount is that the NELRP will repay. I understand the 60% for 2 yr. committment and another 25% for third yr. but what is the max. dollar amount? I have looked at the website and I have found nothing about it except the percentage. Other places I have looked have stated up to $15,000 and up to $30,000. Are these two different programs? I also do not understand they have a TON of applicants but I am really curious about the program (private tuition is doing a number on me). Any info. would be greatly appreciated!!!

I jusy got off the phone with them and they asked me to verify if I still worked at my place of employment, my bank info, address and phone number. She also asked me if I was still interested in being considered and then she gave me the branch name and number of who I would need to contact if I needed to update any info or discuss changes of employment with. Basically, she did not tell me I was accepted, but kind of implied it. We shall see. They love keeping us in suspense.:nurse:

I was accepted for the NELRP last year, as I have a ton of student loan debt.

Did they call you to verify anything when you got accepted or did you jus suddenly get the letter of acceptance?!?!? Im just wondering if I should hang up hopes or not!!

Nope, I never received a call from anyone. I just got the acceptance letter in the mail.

You never know though, they could be doing things differently this year.

Good luck to each one of you!!

Hey everyone, I too applied for the 2008 NELRP assistance. I have been waiting and waiting just like all of you! I also got a call Sept. 2nd asking me to verify all of the same info. I was so anxious and so excited. She just kept saying "SHOULD YOU RECEIVE AN AWARD..." I just hope we get something soon!! I really could use this reimbursement as I am sure you all are in the same boat! Good luck to everyone and I hope we all get it!! I am from INDIANA. Where are you guys from? Kate, RN:heartbeat

Hello Kate,

I am from Mass, but currently live in nyc because I would not be able to afford my loan payments if I moved back to my hometown. I came here for college and have not gotten to leave yet, unfortunately. That phone coversation was quite nerve racking. I really wanted to say "Can't you just give us a straight answer because I doubt you are calling all 5000 applicants?" The HR dept at my hospital keeps asking me if I have heard anything yet (two of us applied this year) and when I told them about the email I received and the phone call they just laughed and said "thats the government for you, no straight answers." :) Well we can really start checking the mail now! Good luck.

Gosh, this is so nerve racking!! I can't sleep at all and I work nights so that's really not good!! We usually have a lot of people from my hospital apply for it which makes it even more nerve racking! I am 224% when you figure the income and loan equation. Just can only hope and pray!! Thanks for the response! I will keep my fingers crossed for us!! I'll keep you updated! Hope we hear something soon!! Kate:redbeathe

That was really sweet of you to say!! I hope and pray we all get it though. I hate that I have all these loans but I am blessed to have my career. I just hope I can get these loans paid down so I can start saving for other important things in my life like a house and my children's college tuition!!! I hope we all hear something soon!! I'll keep praying for us all!! Good Luck everyone, I'm sure it will be sooner than later!!! Kate:heartbeat

What was your loan to income ratio? Mine loans are 110% of my annual income so I thought I would have some luck with NELRP but it sounds like a lot of people are even worse off than me. Just curious what yours are since you received a phone call. I haven't heard anything from them.
