Tuition Reimbursement/Loan Forgiveness offered by New York City hospitals

Published

I was recently accepted into the accelerated bachelor's nursing program at New York University. However, it's quite pricey and I'm already in debt from the college I'm graduating from. I was wondering if anyone knew about hospitals in the city that would offer tuition reimbursement or loan forgiveness or something during or after my education there, maybe by promising to work for them after as an RN for a certain amount of time or something? Are there specific hospitals known to do this? :confused:

Any of the hospitals that do offer loan forgiveness, usually do not do it until one has graduated and it is at the rate that the community colleges charge. Never at the costs from a private program.

No City Hospitals (HHC) does not offer tuition reimbursement. There is a Nursing Loan Repayment Program that you can apply for yearly. (Google "NLRP") and you can find it though. I believe the deadline has already passed but you can try for next year.

The hospitals themselves don't pay you back, but NLRP absolutely will allow for some of your federal loan money for nursing school to be repaid if you work at an HHC hospital. I think it's one year of partial payback for each year worked and you can apply for two years. You should go check.

It's a lot of paperwork and hassle, but totally worth it..

You WILL need your original promissory notes and the loans need to NOT be consolidated with other school loans. No notes, no payback. Consolidation? No payback.

(that happened to me. It sucked.)
