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.

Am I crazy to still have hope of getting the first email? I am an RN and still under review ... I called last week bc someone I work with who has a lower income ratio then myself got on and I haven't. The rep told me that they have extended the program to 10/30 due to them being so behind and that awards aren't grouped regionally that everyone is in one big group. He even offered to check my status and said they are verifying all my loans and employment and that even by my last name being so low in the alphabet could effect it. Idk if he was just being diplomatic and giving me answers withou really giving me info or what but I am an RN tier one with 200% ratio

No don't give up hope! I have a friend who received her first letter at the end of Sept 2 yrs ago!

So my application still says Submitted, no credit check or anything that I can find.. I tried calling to get some information but didnt really get anywhere.. just that they are still giving out awards and to continue to check my email.. my application number is in the 5000's and maiden name starts with "W" (got married after submitting) if that means anything.. any one know if I should keep my hopes up or start to mentally prepare for the let down =(

I dont think we should worry till september is over.. I think with the volume of applications this year they are running behind.. Now, when it gets to be October i think we should start to worry.

It's not over till it's over. That means you still have hope. Focus on that. If it doesn't come thru this year, you'll have time for the let down then. But before you know it, it will be time to resubmit your application for next year if you have to. On a previous year's blog, one person was able to find out what was wrong with her application after the award process was completed. Soif you don't get it, you can call them and ask why, and then maybe it is something you can do differently for the next submission. A number of us have applied multiple times in the past without sucess. But have either already been awarded this year, or have at least gotten further in the process then before. So keep HOPE.

So I applied for 2012 NELRP back in February and have not heard ANYTHING since. No email, phone call, mail, NOTHING. I checked my application status today and this is what it said:

We did not receive your confirmation to accept the 2012 NELRP award

and required documents by 08/16/2012. Your online application has been

removed from consideration and is no longer eligible for a 2012,

award.

Your overall Application Status is: Finalist for Award, No Response

Has anyone encountered this before? I sent them an email and am going to call tomorrow morning but what can do? I pretty sure it is too late and I don't think they are real flexible even in a situation like this :(
