Do you want to enter a nursing degree program? For many people, the want is there, but the need isn’t: funds. Nursing programs can be expensive and too often, people don’t know that there is help out there.
Federal financial aid is available for those interested in becoming nurses. Filling out a FAFSA application can be daunting, but doing it can mean you get an incredible sum of money towards your education.
There are also a number of private scholarships available for those willing to apply. The American Association of Colleges of Nursing offers numerous scholarships for prospective nursing students. From scholarships for nurse educators, to scholarships for those seeking their BA’s, Master’s, or more, AACN knows you may need help and they’re there for you.
AACN also offers resources from other organizations, such as the American Indian Graduate Center, the Assembly for Men in Nursing Foundation, and the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities, to give you a leg up if you come from a minority background.
So don’t let being lower income stop you from helping those who need it. Apply for help, enter a nursing degree program, and be on your way to a new career.
