Financial Aid is available for qualified applicants and
students enrolled in the practical nursing program.
Financial need is determined by the difference between
the cost of the program and the amount of money the
student or family can be expected to provide, based on a
formula established by the U.S. Congress.
The U.S. Department of Education Assistance Agency
offers load aid to eligible students who are enrolled.
Applications for loans can be obtained from local banks
and lending institutions.
Each student who wishes to participate in either Pell
Grant of PHEAA Loan Programs will be required to
complete the Free Application For Federal Student (FAFSA).
The program coordinator will provide these forms to
students. Verification of income in the form of income
tax records, social security, or other benefit summaries
may be required before student aid will be computed.
The Practical Nursing Program also participates with the
Workforce Investment Act (Career Link), TRA, Veterans
Administration, Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation, and
the U.S. Army to supply financial and educational aid
for students. Eligible applicants should apply to those
organizations.
The Pennsylvania Department of Education provides
funding to partially offset the operating costs of
occupational training, including that provided in
practical nursing programs in Pennsylvania. There
attempt is to encourage occupational training for youth
and adults while allowing programs to maintain lower
student tuition costs.
