Financial Assistance
What to Expect: Costs & Financial Aid Timing
Federal financial aid can help with educational costs, but it may not cover your full program charges. Please plan ahead for possible out-of-pocket costs and consider payment arrangements or private loan options if needed.
Your financial aid is applied to your charges first (tuition, fees, etc.). You may only receive a refund if your total aid is more than your school's charges—for example, if you have additional funding such as a Parent PLUS or private loan.
To be eligible for financial assistance, you must file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The form may be completed on the internet at fafsa.gov.
Common items that can delay aid disbursement include:
- Verification documents (if selected for verification): required forms and supporting documents must be submitted and complete.
- FAFSA corrections: updates or fixes to your FAFSA may be needed before aid can be finalized.
- Prior-school loan issues: cancellations, overlapping enrollment, or other prior-school items may need to be resolved before funds can be released.
If we request additional information, sending it as soon as possible helps avoid delays. If you’re unsure what you need to submit, contact the Financial Aid Office for help.
The School of Nursing participates in three Title IV programs – School code (016560):
- Federal Pell Grant: Awarded on the basis of financial need, but not available to students who have already received a bachelor or professional degree and are also subject to lifetime limits
- William D. Ford Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans
- Parent PLUS Loans: Enables parents with good credit histories to borrow for the education expenses of each child who is a dependent undergraduate student enrolled at least half time
