A grant from the Dept of Education is accessible to nursing students in the state of Florida. I have attended an informational session and I do qualify for such aid. The program pays for tuition, books, 2 uniforms, 1 pair of shoes, a stethoscope, NCLEX fees, KAPLAN NCLEX review, $25 gas card monthly, child care, etc.
A personal friend of mine just finished nursing school and it was all paid for. There are a few criterias (make less than a certain amount of $ per year, US Citizenship or permanent residency, grades, acceptance letter, et al) There is NO committment to stay in the state or work for any entity whatsover. It is there for the taking. If you are interested let me know. I go tomorrow to officially sign onto the program.
The contact in Duval county is George Skinner at 997-3100 x.2351 He said they are currently out of money but will get their next chunk in July. The income levels are extremely low. For me, a family of 5, I had to have a yearly income below 30k to qualify.
