Does anyone know specific programs to help pay for nursing school?

Question

I'm in AR, want to go to nursing school... loans are NOT an option :(

Answer 1

There are many programs to help recruit nursing students in the form of grants and scholarships. Major companies along with the state and federal govenrments have joined in an effort to make nursing school affordable due to the nursing shortage. I will include some free resources to locate money to attend nursing school.

First, the college's financial aid office and website has a list of private scholarships offered from outside organizations and companies. Sometimes a college major's website will list scholarships, too.

Second, the public library has a book listing scholarships with some not even listed on the web.

Third, the high school guidance office has a list of local scholarships and state scholarships & grants.

Fourth, fill out the FAFSA form after January 1 of your senior year of high school. It will qualify her for need based financial aid from the federal government and the school itself. It will come in the form of scholarships, Pell Grant, student loans, and the work study program.

Fifth, states do offer grant and scholarships for future nurses. They can be located by searching Google.com and Yahoo.com with your state's name and nursing.

Finally, I recommend joining several free membership scholarship search websites. There are scholarships for a variety of things including ethnicity, clubs, hobbies, and even wearing duct tape to the high school prom. Most are updated on a regular basis. Most offer a customized search based on information entered onto a form on the website.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Are you in a two yr Associates application, or four yr Bachelor's application? Why are you ready until now to uncover out? You will have to recognise this earlier than opening your reviews. I used to be a nurse anesthetist within the ninety's in a small rural southern clinic and made $30/hr. I have a pal that's an ICU nurse in S.F. and he makes $sixty five/hr. Worse cost situation if you're a two 12 months pupil you will have to earn on the very least $15-$20, a four 12 months $25-$forty, get specialised coaching and do a lot greater. Nurse anesthetist could make over $one hundred on name, midwife the equal.
