Financial Aid

Funding Your Nursing Education

Invest wisely in yourself and your future.

We help make the process of paying for college as simple and stress-free as possible. Most of our students receive financial assistance.

Scholarships and grants, state and federal aid, employer tuition support, private loans—we know there is a lot to consider. Yet, your future is worth the time to make the best plan to pay for nursing school.

Once you complete an online application or schedule an admissions appointment, we’ll assign you a full-time Enrollment Counselor to help you find the financial aid info you need. Let’s start crunching the numbers.
