I did not go through this myself during my scholarship. But, it will work out. They want you to graduate and do “your time.” It will work out. Good luck!

I can’t give you definite answers, but hopefully can help. I went over the number of days on one of my terms, I forget if it was between terms, or at my final term. But I remember being worried about how strictly they talked about going over your time, and maybe even how that can affect your...

Anyone heard back on this year’s loan repayment cycle? Asking for a coworker who hasn’t heard yet. We are a dental site, and our HPSA score is 22. In the past, I think hygienists had heard back in July. Thanks!

When I transitioned from the NHSC Scholarship repayment into the Loan Repayment Program, even though my scholar obligation ended on Sep 2nd, it took a bit of time for NHSC to close out my scholar service and approve me for loan repayment. Therefore, my loan repayment cycle now is from Sep 20th...

I just transitioned a year ago from the NHSC scholarship program into the loan repayment program. Recently I've been working a lot on finances and was able to find a really awesome way to effectively put my remaining loans into a "bonus" grace period so that I pay as little as possible towards...

Yes. I think the stipulations are: - It is an education only loan and has not been consolidated with any non-qualifying loans (but the loan does not need to be for your professional degree, it can be for undergraduate as well) - It was disbursed before you get accepted You'd be best to read the...

Confirmed. My disbursement was 90 days exactly. Thanks guys, and congrats!

So, I called NHSC today to confirm that my loan repayment money wasn't sitting in someone else's account. The representative told me that "Processed" means "processing," and "Paid" means the funds should be in our account.

Any luck?

Room and board aren't included. The ORC covers mandatory costs other than room and board that the student themselves pay that are included in your cost of attendance sheet. For example, my school itemized these costs into the cost of attendance and they included things like health insurance and...

Yes, sorry, I missed the "before". Speaking of default, I just saw that the NHSC has a default calculator on the portal. For kicks I checked to see what my sum would be. I am two months into a two year loan repayment contract. I think the figure was like $215k if I got cold feet now! Luckily...

Once you're done, you're done. NHSC would like you to stay where you are at serving the community in your primary care specialty, as that is the whole goal of the program (not to address healthcare shortages not so much in 2-4 year stints of your repayment, but in the idea that a percentage of...

Does yours say "Processed" though under Financial Information?

Any of you guys gotten your disbursement yet? Under financial information in the BHW Portal it says my 50k was processed, but nothing in my bank. I'm hoping I put the right bank info in there!

And that's a wrap! Just got the confirmation email today that I had received the loan repayment award. So in summary for future Scholar to LRP applicants who may be looking for some information: - You won't get finalist status or offered an award until you complete your scholarship obligation -...
