Starting a thread here since I haven’t seen one yet - just noticed a credit pull a few days ago. Application still says under review.

I’m an NP, first year applying. Worried about credit - I don’t have anything in default but I did get behind on a few credit cards recently. Hopefully this doesn’t have an adverse effect on my application.

I got an alert they pulled my credit on 3/18, hoping that means they’re moving pretty fast this year. I’m a psych RN BSN and this is my first year applying as well. I wouldn’t worry about the credit pull, a history of defaulted loans is an automatic disqualification so I think it’s just a part of their verification process.

I hope things move at a faster pace as well! The thought of student loans coming out of deferment in May has me so nervous.

I just got an email that I’m a finalist for this year’s award cycle. I have to submit my intent to accept confirmation. No credit check that I saw on my report.

I’m a psych NP and former NHSC scholarship recipient. Applied for the SUD loan repayment. I already have my X waiver and currently working with substance use disordered (suboxone) patients.

 

Good luck to everyone who applied :)

Two of my colleagues received their finalist emails. I haven’t received anything and my app is still under review ?? I sure hope they are still working through the very long list of applicants. Good luck to us all!!

Hi all, I received an email a little over a week ago from HRSA needing some additional info on my license and then yesterday I received an email asking for my 90 day payoff amount on my loans. Still no COI email yet. Has anyone else gotten these emails from HRSA in the last week or two? My hopes are up because they asked for my payoff amount but trying not to get too excited.
