School of Nursing Financial Aid Opportunities
Overview:
In addition to university-based financial aid, there is funding available to nursing students through the School. To be considered for these funds, students must complete the FAFSA (http://www.FAFSA.edu.gov) and the School of Nursing Financial Aid application (current and accepted students may contact the School for the form.)
Awards are based largely on financial need as rated by the University Office of Financial Aid. Students who complete the form will be considered for any funds for which they are eligible. (Some funds require the completion of additional forms.) Any financial aid granted by the School cannot be guaranteed for future semesters. Therefore, long range planning which includes investigating outside resources is strongly recommended.
