Hi! Does anyone know the deal with the ORC payment and stipends? I talked to a rep on Monday and she said that we would receive payment by November 1st. That's a long time lol. However, HRSA took care of my tuition and fees last friday, about a week ...

Hi! I tried adding you, but I couldn't for some reason..maybe because your profile is public?

Great news! Just received an email from HRSA and they have FINALLY updated our status. We are no longer "In Final Review" and we can now breathe easy. If you log into the portal, there are documents that you can reference and guidance on working with...

I just hope they start communicating with our schools soon. I would hate to have to deal with late fees and I'm waiting to purchase my books. A formal award letter would be nice. Hoping for some good news and movement :).

Great to hear! Thanks for sharing!

I freak out when I can't find my lucky pencil for scantron exams! :)

I served as a student representative on my university's academic integrity board. Let me just say that instructors take academic integrity very seriously. Although I empathize with your situation, I would call plagiarism as well since you submitted t...

Sorry, the formatting is always off for me.

Same thing I was told in regards to the Secretary of Healthsigning the contract. I called my financial aid office and they gave me someoptions: 1. sign up for monthly payment plan until the money is disbursed 2.send HRSA an invoice (although I'm not ...

My status has not changed in the portal. I will definitely post if anything changes. Classes start September 23 for me, I don't think I'm going to take out a loan because my bill doesn't need to be paid until September 10.

Did you figure out what happened? I'm still able to view my info which states "In Final Review".

I believe one person did. They were unable to relocate and couldn't find any qualifying healthcare facilities near them.

This whole situation is confusing. I was advised not to take out a loan and then advised to take one if needed. My school starts Sept. 23. Thank God I have a little bit more time to figure this out. I read the thread from last year's award recipients...

Wow! Even though we are technically in the "final review" stage? I'm definitely going to call them and see if I can do the same. Thanks!

Agreed. I pray about it every night. I'm starting to get paranoid lol. I'm still unclear about when the awards will actually begiven to our schools. People in my program are discussing their payment options(loans, etc.) on our FB group page and I'm k...

I'm getting nervous now. Did they say why that "one" person was not awarded? Maybe issues with their school/program? Are they going to review all our paper work again or just the two documents we had to submit? I'm sure they did a thorough review bef...

I'm in the same boat as you. From what the rep told me, they are in the process of getting our documents ready for the secretary of health to sign off on. She said that we should be fine, but it's def confusing. I just want the final OK so i can be a...

Congrats on completing the program! I will begin this fall and am both excited and terrified! I frequent the Spring 2013 and Fall 2012 Cohorts Facebook page and it can be a bit discouraging as a lot of the posts relate to how difficult the classes ar...

Yes! It's somewhat annoying, but I'm guessing they have to word it as such until all our documentation is reviewed. The rep said that they are just making sure everything is accurate and preparing our paperwork for the secretary of health to sign off...

I called Nurse Corps today and they said that we should hear back way before September and that they will be in contact with our school's financial aid office. The rep told me that I shouldn't apply for a loan.

I'm glad to know that I am not the only one confused. :) My next step is to contact my financial aid/billing office to find out when tuition and fees have to be paid.Then, I'll call HRSA again to see if I can give me more info on when I can expect th...

GPA: 3.4 EFC: 2000 School: Pennsylvania It's an accelerated program. Congrats to all who have received it and don't lose hope for those who are awaiting! :)

I received an email last week about being selected for an award. I sent in the forms and my bank info. I also called to get some clarification on a question I had. The rep told me that we would hear back in a couple of weeks. I'm just wondering when ...
