CowboyAce Posted October 23, 2014 Hello! I am looking to talk to someone who has participated in the NHSC Loan Repayment Program. I have read through the program guidelines but still have a couple questions. Please reply or send me a message if you can help me out! Thanks!
MRD513 Posted December 8, 2014 I'm currently in the NHSC program in WNC, getting tax free money on top of your salary can't be beat. What do you want to know?
chabis77 Posted December 14, 2014 Do you receive a normal salary? Or is it lower due to the fact that you're receiving money toward loans on top of the salary?
djr02d Posted December 15, 2014 I'm in the NHSC. I started my contract July 2013. Your salary should not be lowered due to NHSC funds. I believe this is stated in the welcome package / paperwork. I'm paid a competitive rate for my specialty (peds). The money is given to you directly (if you qualify and are awarded)via direct deposit. Your job just has to continue to qualify as a site and complete site verification every 6 months for you. If you have any other questions, send me a message.
jasatrom Posted January 23, 2015 Do you know if they accept students from schools that only have provisional accreditation because of being a new school? I know the NHSC website says schools must be accredited, I don't know if that includes provisional accreditation. Also, does anyone have experience applying long before the program starts? My program doesn't start until early September, thus I don't have a PA school GPA and haven't interacted much with professors for LOR. I'm wondering if it will hurt my application to use LORs and GPA from undergrad. Thanks for any advice! I'm really excited at the prospect of this program!
