NELRP is there a thread?

Hello all! I thank God for this thread; my anxiety has been high lately as I see that everyone else has the same issues that I do and that is that the waiting is killing me. I sent an e-mail about a week ago and they responded by saying that all who actually got the grant would know by the end of sept. My application has been under review status for a long time, probably 6 months or more but has never graduated beyond that. That being said as many of you have already stated, they keep telling us all something different every time we contact them. I have called four times in the past and got 4 different answers. I, too am still hopeful, that it will be till the end of October. Hopefully as soon as someone gets their turn down letter they will post here so we know when to watch for those as well. Pretty sure no turn down letters go out till all awards are made. Good luck to all who are still waiting and congrags to all who have been awarded. This is my first year and although I don't owe quite as much as some of you I drive 1.25 hrs each way to an underserved area to deliver care and am probably spending 10k a year at least in expenses. I fear I may have to stop doing this if I do not receive grant.

Keep hoping and praying!! Got my fingers crossed for you:)

Thanks! Really appreciate it! I am curious, can anyone tell me how they pay? Is it a monthly payment to you or a lump sum? How does it work?

If you are awarded, they give you a worksheet that outlines your loans and the total amount of your award, minus federal taxes. What's left is then divided into 24 monthly payments, which is deposited directly into your bank account each month.

Keep the faith everyone. I am continuing to say prayers for signatures, emails, and final award letters for those who wait and watch emails and discussion boards adn BCRS portal for changes!

I am trying my hardest not to panic, but my application still says 'submitted.' I'm 180%/14, so I don't get it. I've called twice & all I'm told is that they can't see anything that I don't see on the page & that I have until 10/31 to hear back. When I mentioned that other people are being awarded & how can they award without reviewing every applicant, they say they don't know. I just keep thinking maybe I didn't submit something correctly or forgot something...ahhhhhh

If there is anything we know, its that there is no rhyme or reason to the process.
