Amy Hi NHSC! I am wondering if you can give an update on time frames for applications being approved. I submitted mine in September and haven't heard anything. I'm sure others are trying to wait patiently as well. I know there is a significant volume of applications but can you give any idea about how long it has been taking to process them? Thanks!

Chris I recently received loan repayment funds and applied the amount receive towards my loans. Where do I need to send a copy of my payment history to show that those funds have been applied?

Thomas Fewer I have received the loan repayment funds yet my site has not been approved. My PPO application is still under review. It has been about two weeks since the funds were deposited into my account. I am waiting to pay off my loans until I have confirmation about my site. I also know that there is a 30 day deadline. I have ...spoken to someone at the call center but am unable to reach anyone else at NHSC. I would like to avoid being penalized for not paying off my loans within 30 days. Please advise.

Are you going to reapply for money?? If no, it doesn't matter when you pay the loans off. You only have to submit paperwork showing the pay off if you are going to apply for additional money. If you are going to reapply for more money after your 2 year contract, you have to have it to them with in 45 days, but I wouldn't stress b/c the time frame lapse won't be your fault. I had an attorney look at the paperwork for me, b/c I wanted to be certain on everything and this is what I was told.

Beth, NHSC needs to verify that the funds were used to pay off educational debt. Recently, we started to ask for verification from NHSC clinicians (generally just a statement from a lender(s))...

Thomas, please do not use your funds to pay off your loans until you have received verification that your PPO application has been approved. Hang tight and don't worry you won't be penalized if you go over the 30 days. Thanks!

You have to attend a conference somewhere in America (I'm going to San Antonio next month, it was in Tampa last month and is in Tampa again in March).

Here's a link on the upcoming training. You'll get info after you get your money!

Thanks for posting this info, Carrie. However, I just want to remind all newly awarded Loan Repayors that each Loan Repayor Conference is by invitation only. Awardees will receive an email and letter in the mail giving instructions on which conference they will attend and the instructions on how to register. Please do not contact us - we'll contact you! Thanks again!

Diane Roell I am working in community mental health in Michigan and also going to San Antonio. I was wondering, does NHSC have a program for current nursing education? I got my award for past student loans, but later went back to school for antoher post-master's in psychiatry, and am currently in a doctoral program. I saw a pos...t that made me think there might be assistance for that too- anyone know? thanks
