Thank You You can go to this website. https://connector.hrsa.gov/connector/ If the score is 14 or higher you have a good chance of getting loan repayment. If it's lower, there is a possibility. It's all about funding for higher priority places. I suggest finding a place you like to work first that would be a good fit that happens to be a NHSC site. Loan repayment applications are due April 25th. So if you find a job and work a while, by the next application cycle you should know if the job is a decent fit. Check out the financial aid forum on this topic. There is a lot of stipulations with loan repayment and you need to make sure you understand what you are getting into. NHSC should be icing on the cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
