PAYING FOR NURSING SCHOOL

Opportunity - FINDING AID FOR NURSING SCHOOL

Nursing School Grants

Grants are a smart way to finance your education because it's "free" money—you don't have to pay back a grant. With over a thousand federal grant programs in the US, worth more than $400 billion, securing a student grant can help you save hundreds or even thousands of nursing school dollars. Sure, it takes time and energy to apply for a grant, but the payoff is well worth the application effort. Often, schools automatically consider you for grants when you complete a FAFSA and apply to school.

Nursing School Scholarships


Scholarships generally recognize academic achievement, athletic ability or artistic accomplishments. Scholarships can be very competitive, but they do not need to be paid back and are an excellent way to help finance your education. Some scholarships may have restrictions, such as applying to a specific course of study or active involvement in an organization or group. Some scholarships apply to general education (such as athletic scholarships), but usually a certain grade point average needs to be maintained to keep these types of scholarships. For nursing students, the professional associations for your specialty may give scholarships to qualified individuals. For example, the Oncology Nursing Society offers scholarships to students pursuing a master's, doctorate or post-master’s certificate. Some of the best scholarship resources, however, can be religious organizations, private and public schools, small businesses, large corporations, community groups, generous individuals or philanthropic foundations.
