Nursing school is one of the career fields where there is a lot of scholarships and government grants out there. Well known companies also offer scholarships to nursing students. 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 for current high school students.
Fourth, fill out the FAFSA form after January 1 before the fall semester or quarter you begin on planning attending nursing school. It will qualify you 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!
