Financial Aid pay for nursing school

Published

Has anyone had financial aid pay for their entire nursing school education? I did not know that Financial Aid can cut you off after so many credit hours. I'm worried

The Pell Grant does cut off at a maximum number of credits. Although, you can file an appeal which can be granted and is determined by your school on an individual basis. My school considers those in a nursing program eligible (in most cases). California also has a waiver for tuition for it's residents, need based.

Good luck.

Yes, I receive Pell grants and nursing scholarships that pay for my entire NS education. Our department give out HUGE amounts of scholarships each year as long as you qualify. These do not look at the number of maximum credits, just that you are a full time student.
