NELRP is there a thread?

Published

Is there already a thread for RNs waiting to hear about awards from the Nursing Education Loan Repayment Program?

When I search, I can only find previous year's threads.

Yes I am looking at the first page below the application. The signatures are at the bottom on the second page. It does sound promising, but I called HRSA to see if this means I am under contract since I had not heard anything. I was told to be patient and the rep could not review and see what I was seeing.

Let's hope the new student loan act of 2012 passes. It would cut the loan forgiveness for public service down to 5 years instead of ten. Then we wouldn't have to feel so desperate about getting this award. Are there any nurse faculty on here who got emails?

This is about the new student loan forgiveness act. I received it in my email. Thought some of you might be interested in the information, even if just to have the bill number so you can follow the progress.

The movement has

just begun!

ForgiveStudentLoanDebt is re-branding as

"Student Debt Crisis" to reflect the fact that the reforms we seek are

not limited to just forgiveness of loans, but a whole host of other steps that

chip away at the status quo.

As you know, we've

already delivered more than ONE MILLION signatures in support of H.R. 4170,

The Student Loan Forgiveness Act of 2012, to Rep. Hansen Clarke who, in

turn, delivered them to Chairman John Kline of the House Education and Workforce

Committee.

Two weeks later, we

trended nationally on Twitter, using the hashtag #ListenToTheMillion, targeting

every member of the Education Committee.

We've sent letters,

emails and tweets, and we've personally visited Congressional Offices, placed

phone calls and done everything in our power to make some noise. Now, it's on

to the next project. . .

I'm writing today to

ask each of you to participate in our very first video submission challenge

wherein we're asking you to create your own short video that we can use to

spread our message in favor of fundamental reforms to the way in which higher

education is paid for in this country.

To participate, please

follow these instructions:

1. Record your

own video focusing on your own student debt experience:

  • Please use
    the phrases "I majored in Debt" or "Listen to the Million," depending on your
    message.
  • Explain how
    much you borrowed to go to school vs. how much you now owe.
  • Tell the
    world about your employment situation and how you'd probably be better off
    financially had you never gone to school at all.
  • Be yourself,
    use humor or gut-wrenching honesty, but make it powerful so that we can put
    human faces on the crisis.

2. Upload your

video to YouTube, or Vimeo, then grab the embed code for your video;

3. Click here to go to the video submission page (don't worry:

instructions are listed there, too);

4. Copy and paste

the embed code for your video from YouTube or Vimeo to the video submission

form at the bottom of this page. Please submit no

later than August 31, 2012.

That's it!

Thank you, as always,

for your continued support and participation. Without you, this budding

movement would never have gotten off the ground! Let's keep the momentum

going!

Sincerely,

Robert
