Hi Fellow Nurses!
Is anyone else anxiously awaiting the 2017 cycle opening?
I have applied several times and praying that 2017 is my year. I'm tier 1 - not faculty and not an NP.
Is anyone else out there?
Sure hoping we all get awarded this year because it looks like next year the funding for Title VIII programs will be greatly reduced:
I also received a credit check on 6/5 from Credco and confirmed with them that it was from a government agency regarding nursing. I can't recall my specific site score, but I know it fell into tier 1 and my D:I ratio is just over 100%. I'm an RN/BSN at a primary care clinic. Looks like from last years cycle that awardees were notified starting in late July, so I'm hopeful to hear soon but not exactly planning on it.
The suspense is killing me! I think that in previous years, credit checks were started back in April/May and the candidates were receiving award confirmations by end of May - beginning of June...So...? Has ANYONE heard ANYTHING?!?
I'm trying to be patient, but this process is very nerve-wracking!

According to awardees from previous years, if you receive the award you will be notified by email, and like the comment previously stated, you will only have so many days to accept the award and provide banking information. Your status will also change under your HRSA login and will no longer show "under review". Also, be sure to check your Spam folder, because people were unaware that they were receiving awards.
GOOD LUCK!
