Now, that's something I could use. I wish KY had such a great program!

I am currently searching for scholarships for master of science in nursing education.

I am told there is "alot of money out there" but I am wondering if you've learned of any websites/sources that clearly address this.

Here is a good place to start. Your state should also have a Best In Care program, which pays back some of your loan after you graduate. My state does offer it for nurse educators. Your loans have to be obtained through The Student Loan People to qualify. Go here http://www.thestudentloanpeople.com/ to see further details, and to see if it applies in your state.
