2018 Nurse Corps Loan Repayment Program

Published

Hi all,

I've been reading up on the Nurse Corps Loan Repayment Program and looks like in past years, threads have been started for the yearly application process. I'll be applying as a Staff RN (non-faculty) working at a DSH with an HPSA Score of 16. Not sure of my DTI percentage yet. Hoping to connect with others that will be applying to the program next month and we can all share our updates here. Best of luck to everyone!

Is anyone still waiting for their $50k or $25k lump sum award? How many days has it been since your contract was countersigned? If you have gotten your award, was it awarded after the full 90 days or before?

I was cosigned sept18 havent received my award yet for loan repayment. I have been told it can take the whole 90 days sometimes.

Thanks for answering. I'm going to plan that it will take the whole 90 days at this point and be pleasantly surprised if it doesn't.

Congrats to everyone who applied!!! I am a future applicant hoping someone can quickly clarify the application cycle. It looks like applications are typically due around February-March, but what is the earliest you can start working on applications?

I am graduating NP school in August 2019, so I am assuming the earliest cycle I can apply for is the one ending in February-March 2020.. does this sound correct?

Just wanted to update that I received my payment today - just four days shy of the 90 day wait.

Did you receive notification when you're loan had been processed and funds deposited, Did you get lump sum?
