Are there any programs that will pay for schooling to become a nurse?

Answer 1

Yes but requires lots of work on your part. I received over $60,000 to pay for mine. Most were $500 or less. The work to get that money was treated just like "home work". I use to call it "Money101". First, go to http://www.fastweb.com and fill out the FREE questionnaire. Secondly, wait (usually less than 24 hours) and many scholarships will match based on your answers provided in the first step. Third, send off for the application, complete it and send it off "on time" then wait to be considered. Don't expect thousands of dollars from any one source. It is the smaller scholarships that can all add up to pay for your education. Many are grants so you don't have to repay them. Some may require you to serve in certain areas that are in real need of nurses for a certain number of years to "pay back" with service to that community. If you don't want to follow this route, call any Major Hospital and ask for assistance in getting on to their scholarship program. Finally call your congress representatives. They have scholarship sources or can guide you to "inside sources" that are not normally publicized too munch. Good luck and stay focus.

Answer 2

If you currently work (sometimes even part time) at a hospital, they sometimes will reimburse tuition or offer some sort of scholarship program.
You might also try your local Workforce office (sometimes called the employment office) and ask to speak to a WIA counselor. WIA (workforce Investment Act) is a program that pays tuition and books to individuals who are looking to get into high demand careers such as nursing.
Good Luck.

Answer 3

Many states (Georgia is one) will pay off yoru student loans to become a trained professional in many areas like nursing, doctor, teaching, police, etc. All you have to do is agree to work in that state for a period of time (anywhere from 2-4 years).

Check and see if your state does that. You still have to get the student loans yoruself, but some states will pay them off for you. Almost as good as going free!

Answer 4

Answer 5

There are lots of hospitals that offer full scholarships. You have to agree to work for a certain length of time to receive the money, but it is a good way to be certain of school getting paid and having a job when you are done. Check at all hospitals, even small out of the way ones.
