Free Grants for Nursing School
August 3rd, 2008 at 01:53pm Under Grants
The most widely used free money for college comes from the federal government in the form of grant money. Nearly all colleges in the United States require their students to fill out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as part of the enrollment procedures. A good portion of those students qualify for free money. An eligible student in 2008 can receive between $523 to $4,731. Below you will find a list of Grants, Government and private, that can be used for paying your nursing school bill.
1. Federal Pell Grants – This is a need based federal grant designed for low-income students. Eligibility is determined by several factors including students income, cost of attendance, and enrollment status. For more information on pell grants check out the Department of Educations website here.
2. Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant – This special grant is considered campus-based aid because the schools are given a limited amount of money each year to award to the most exceptional financially needy students and once their allotted funds are awarded no more FSEOG grants can be given that year. For 2008 the FSEOG can be from $100 – $4,000. Check out this site for more information.
