Financial Aid
Planning and applying for financial aid to support nursing education should start early. Financial aid for all students is limited so it is important that the application and necessary documents are submitted by published deadlines. Begin by researching local resources such as the Lion's Club, American Legion, Chamber of Commerce, and women's organizations. Contact the financial aid office of the school where you plan to attend.
