Hi all!

Do you guys know about the nursing financial aid, grant, and scholarships for the private schools? I got an acceptance letter from AUHS (American University of Health Science) but the tuition is tooooooooooooo much for me. Help me!

Thank you,

Contact their financial aid department and see what they have. There is all type of grant money out there if your income level is such that you fall below the poverty line such as the Pell Grant. But you have to apply for that money early. I don't know if Pell Grants are applicable for a private collage. Have you searched for grants on the internet?

Private schools often have extensive scholarship funds because the admissions people at these places are aware that the tuition is very expensive. I would call the financial aid department to inquire about any scholarships that they might be offering.

Also, Stafford government student loans (subsidized and unsubsidized), grants, and private student loans can help pay for the tuition. You can also work full time while you're in school and successfully maintain good grades, although many people will want you to believe that this feat is impossible. One more option is to try to get accepted into a publicly funded university that offers cheaper in-state tuition.
