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

Nice! And you got it three days early.

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.

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 haven't received my NHSC award yet... They said up to 90 days but it looks like, in past years, many people received it within 60 days.

Where do they claim it's need based?

Well, the contract says "The Secretary or his or her authorized representative must sign this Contract before it becomes effective" and since it is Co-signed by Jamie King, whose role is listed as "OFAM Approver, HRSA," it stands to reason he either ...

This is what they say about their funding priorities: "Funding Priorities - The following funding priorities will be applied to all eligible and qualified applicants: • Characteristics Likely to remain in a HPSA plus Disadvantaged Background (see "...

^^^^ EXACTLY right rsmith. If you include it as income, it's going to be taxed as income. As it stands, the 25k part-time or 50k full-time disbursement is COMPLETELY tax free. I think the monthly stipend is different and may be counted as income a...

I signed on 9/5 and they signed on 9/25.

I JUST had my contract counter signed!! They are still awarding :-)

I JUST got a counter signature on my contract!! They are still awarding :-)

Finalist e-mail but no counter signature. Still waiting...

I just got my notification yesterday that I'm a finalist and was asked to fill out my confirmation of interest and all bank account information. I'm excited!! I applied for the HRSA loan repayment as a Certified Nurse Midwife.

They put you on the waitlist for the next class only. After that, you have to reapply.

SouthernBelle - I had been waitlisted but then was offered a spot when one opened up. Again, I encourage you to call and find out where you are on the waitlist (I was 2nd).

Southernbelle - Have you called to find out where you are on the waiting list?

Just got my offer letter (via e-mail). I am off the wait list and officially in Class 131!!!!

Queen - Thanks for the additional info. I do know that Frontier Bound 131 and 133 actually start classes at the same time which corroborates your information above.

I found it and requested to join. Search for "frontier 131."

Does anyone know where they are on the waitlist?

Well, we've waited this long, a little more of a wait is nothing! :)

Lady - I meant when is the latest they would let us know if we do or do not make it off the waitlist. Like, will they let us know by 7 days before frontier bound, 2 days, etc? Maranda - When I e-mailed to ask questions about the wait list, they told...

Ladyturtle - Are you waitlisted for CNM or FNP? Also, do you know if there is a cut-off date for waitlisted applicants?

I'm a 'H' and Ms. Jones also replied to my e-mail quite promptly. I bet she is super busy today.
