I have 1 bs in business - I have already taken out loans for the 1st degree - Any tips on scholarships to help pay for BSN at a private school? $10,000 per semester - this is the only school close to me. Everything else is about 2 hrs away. Websites? Tips?

Private schools tend to give out a lot of scholarships to its students. Their financial aid dept would be your best bet.

My school gave out scholarships each semester..but the thing is, our school never made it well known to people. I had to go around asking the dean, etc. about scholarship opportunities and grants. Turns out good grades paid off...and actually after my scholarships from school, grants, and state scholarships, I was getting a check in the mail for $1600 at the end of the semester a couple of times. Other times, my tuition was 99% paid and I had to pay maybe $300-500 a semester. Not thousand..hundred. Just ask around your school, they have money and are willing to give it out haha.

Nursing Candidate Program in Army, Navy, or Airforce. Or if you enlist after graduation I think they offer loan repayment options. My school is $35k per year, I made a very bad decision three years ago to attend & now I am up to my eyeballs in debt. $10k is a very good deal, have you filled out the FAFSA?

Personally, I would move and go to a state school if you don't have a guaranteed scholarship. $10,000/semester is a ton of money to pay back.
