All eligible undergraduate nursing students that file the FAFSA will be reviewed for funding.

  • Documented financial need (as determined by the FAFSA),
  • Federal verification are required before funding can be disbursed and
  • At least part-time enrollment per semester is required. 

The interest rate is 5%, and interest is subsidized until repayment begins, which occurs nine months after the student completes or withdraws from their academic program.
