The chances of finding someone to pay 100% are zero, unless it's you. There's loans, grants, scholarships, work-study programs for undergraduate study, the list is endless. Google is your friend.
P.S. Using all caps is considered shouting and against TOS.

You can't. That's pretty much the bottom line. If you want an education, you will have to earn it yourself and pay for it yourself, particularly when looking at an advanced education such as nurse practitioner. You may be able to qualify for grants, loans or scholarships, primarily as an undergraduate, to help defray the costs. The options for financial assistance get slimmer as you grow in your education.
As mentioned above, please refrain from typing in all caps, as it is against the TOS and is poor online etiquette.

Agree with above posts. Some employers do offer tuition assistance and there are scholarships, but aside from winning the lottery you will probably have to pay for most of the cost yourself. Agree that you need to check your cap lock before posting, please.

How about join the Army or Airforce? But you have to commit after which worth it. Veterans are awesome population to work with.
