Nursing Routes

If you have already exhausted your FAFSA eligibility, it is unlikely that you will receive additional government aid for pursuing another degree. Most likely, any assistance offered would come in the form of loans, which is what I experienced after using FAFSA for my first degree. To help mitigate costs, I would consider completing your prerequisites at a community college and then transferring to a four-year university to finish your degree. Alternatively, if you prefer to go directly to a four-year program, you could explore scholarships—whether academic, athletic, or those offered outside the university, such as essay-based awards. I hope this helps!
