PA-Larb Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Does anyone have any idea what the percentage of applicants is that are granted loan repayment by the National Health Corp? The clinic I have been hired to is a "level 15" clinic. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhageremtp Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 There are too many factors outside of your control to know the exact numbers. NHSC will find reapplicants first, after all they are already serving. Then based on the money left they will begin to fund first time applicants. In the past it was based on a first come first serve idea. In recent years they have changed it to fund to certain levels based on funds available. The paperwork process is a headache but if you get funded its so worth all the headache. I applied 3 years ago and got funded at a site that had a score of 15.

Lexapro Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Our university told us that last year no one was funded at a clinic below a 16. They could have been wrong, maybe? It's getting increasingly competitive with each year; they are getting twice the number of applicants for each spot available. They told us if we wanted to be assured a likelihood funding we should try and work for a place that's in the 20s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Based on my email today it was 37 %. I did not get it at a 14. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostrike1 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 What numbers did they give in the email that got you to 37%? I haven't heard from two of the applicants where I work, but I know for sure the 3rd didn't get the repayment. Our site is a 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 This year, NHSC LRP received over 5,710 applications and made 2,130 awards. Our resources could not fund everyone who applied. Regretfully, your application was not selected to receive an award. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostrike1 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Wow, 5710 applications, that is pretty crazy! The percentage goes along with 1 out of 3 applicants in our facility, score 16, getting awarded. The one who had a higher amount of debt got awarded. Not sure if that is the trend for other places as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 So that sounds like they are going for retention. More debt longer you will stay to get them repaid. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostrike1 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 They have also lowered the amount of money you get for staying with them. When I started year 3 was 40k, then it was 30k, and for 2014 it is 20k. Now years 3 and 4 are 20k and years 5 and 6 are 10k. This would definitely go along with longer retention of participants who have higher levels of debt. Less likely to serve 2 years and run. I liked the higher amounts as it helps cut down on interest accumulation, but I won't complain about any help I get with my student loans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PA-Larb Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 Wow, this is depressing info. I was really banking on the possibility.... Looks like my best bet is prayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostrike1 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 From what I heard from this years applicants that they ran out of money before even awarding anyone below a HPSA site score of 16. Could just be poppycock that someone told me though. Hopefully it was just a really competitive group this year, and your 15 score might do well another year. Who knows?!

Itismemc Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Getting harder and harder, I got in with a 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSUnoles Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 wow this makes no sense. if you do the numbers if they awarded 6k people 60k they would spend 360 million. But can you imagine what these 6k people are saving the gov't long term with the populations they are serving. The savings to medicare and medicaid have to be astounding. it shocks me that they arent budgeted appropriately just based on health care savings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
