Well, education is a product that you are purchasing. Am unsure that I understand what you are asking?

You want a FREE DNP program?

Why would anyone think a doctoral program would be offered for free? Now ... there are grants, etc. that can help cover the cost of tuition for qualifying students in some universities -- particularly for PhD programs.

Is that the type of thing you mean, OP?

There are precedents. The University of Oakland in Michigan and the University of Texas, Houston offered tuition-free DNP programs a few years ago for their initial classes. Does anyone know of any school offering such deal or scholarship currently? Thanks.

I don't know about nursing specifically, but I know that, in many other disciplines, doctoral students work as teaching or research assistants and that covers the cost of their graduate tuition. You might ask about that at specific schools that interest you. Can't hurt to ask.

There are fully funded PhD programs in many disciplines - the student pays no tuition and receives a small stipend. There are fully funded nursing PhD programs, but I am not aware of any fully funded DNP programs.
