Nurse Corps Loan Repayment 2016 Cycle

Published

Hello All,

I am applying for the nurse corps loan repayment program 2016 cycle, I just spoke to a representative who told me the application cycle opens up tomorrow. For those of you who have applied any tips advice etc.? I am very excited about this opportunity because I have an outrageous amount of loans.

Hi all, this may have been addressed... but how do they let you know? In writing... phone call... on the website? Sorry if this was already addressed I have not had time to read the entire thread

I believe it is by email, but not 100% as this is my first year applying.

Yes, notification comes via email.

I called last week and they pretty much told me nothing. Just the fact that we will for sure be notified by September 1st. It may be sooner but no later than that.

That is so frustrating! I cannot understand why they can't just let us know whether or not they are starting to notify award recipients. Why is that such a big deal? Am I missing something? Oh well, hopefully we hear soon. I am checking daily in my spam, inbox, and on the HRSA site. :)

Would be so nice to hear sooner and also to know if awards are going out just to ease our minds.

Agree... So frustrating. In the past few years, notifications have not started until July, primarily. But fingers crossed it will be sooner this year!

Let's hope so! It looks like every year they start notifying at different times. Hopefully will be soon!

Ok, so I broke down and called again. I spoke to a very nice representative that said they have emailed very few reward letters (his exact wording was 1 or 2), but he stressed that the majority of award letters almost always go out in July! He also said that as long as the website says "under review" you are in the running. So finally some clear answers! He also stated that if you haven't heard anything by Sept. 1st, you are basically out of the running. All awardees are notified before Sept. 1st and everyone who doesn't get an award will be notified by Sept. 30th. So now I am going to stop stressing until about late July. Just thought I would share with everyone because I thought that was a very informative phone call.

Thank you for calling this wait is agonizing!

One of the NP's I work with is a current participant in the program who was awarded last year and she told me she was notified late July by email, she also said that if you are awarded make sure you have more state taxes taken out of your salary because they(HRSA) take federal out but not state so you will be responsible for paying the shortage once tax time comes

Luckily, TN doesn't have a state income tax, but thank you for the advice!! I am so hopeful now, but still worried.
