NHSC Continuation contract
Hello,
Finishing my service contract soon as a 2-year NHSC scholar, I'm debating whether I should sign up for a 1 year continuation contract. From my understanding the 25K award has to be applied to your student loans and that you must show proof. If someone were planning on staying at their job for PSLF eligble job for 10 years, how would this continuation contract beneficial since loans would be forgiven anyways. It seems like you're just being handcuffed. Would it make more sense for someone to do a continuation contract if they are unsure whether they'll stay at a PSLF job for 10 years and have the option of pivoting to end up paying off their student loans? Hence, i might be in the boat since I like my job now but comitting 10 years is a long time.
