For the undergraduate nursing programs, these amounts are awarded at a set rate, and for graduate programs, the scholarships typically cover a specific percentage of tuition costs. Both are based on merit. Domestic and international students are eligible for these awards.\u00a0 The School of Nursing & Health Sciences also offers the following:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.son.rochester.edu\/admissions\/financial-aid\/fls.html\"><strong>Finger Lakes Regional Scholarship<\/strong><\/a>: This 50 percent scholarship is currently being offered to students living or working in the Finger Lakes region who apply to the Family Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner or RN to BS program.<u><\/u><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.son.rochester.edu\/admissions\/financial-aid\/affiliate-grant.html\"><strong>Affiliate Professional Development Grant<\/strong><\/a><u>:<\/u>\u00a0If you work at a URMC affiliate organization you can receive 55 percent in tuition support for the RN to BS or select master's programs.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3>Tuition benefits<\/h3>\r\nEmployer tuition benefits may be available to you.

Employees at the 天美传媒 should visit the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/working\/hr\/benefits\/tuition\/\">tuition benefits page<\/a> for specific benefit information.\r\n\r\nYou are required to notify your financial aid counselor of any expected tuition benefits\r\n<h3>Outside scholarships<\/h3>\r\nThe strength of the candidates who attend the University often makes our students excellent candidates for outside scholarships. Be sure to look to family employers, local foundations, clubs, and community agencies for scholarship opportunities. Students are required to notify our office of any outside scholarships that will be received during the academic year.\r\n\r\nLearn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/son.rochester.edu\/admissions\/financial-aid\/other-opportunities.html\">outside scholarship opportunities<\/a> for School of Nursing & Health Sciences students.\r\n<h3><strong>Military benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nThe School of Nursing & Health Sciences participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. More information about the program and other resources for veterans can be found on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/financial-aid\/military-benefits\/\">military benefits page<\/a>.\r\n<h3><strong>Federal loans<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nListed below is information on several types of federal loans available to students, including the criteria associated with borrowing each type of loan.\r\n\r\nIt is important to pay attention to the academic year dates when applying for federal loans. For financial aid purposes, an academic year starts in the fall semester\/quarter and extends through the summer of the following year. Depending on when you will be enrolling in your program, multiple applications may be required.\r\n\r\nFor example, if you start a program in the summer term, you will need to complete two FAFSAs, as your enrollment will cross two academic years. You\u2019ll need to complete one FAFSA for the summer term, the end of one academic year, and one FAFSA for the fall term, the beginning of a new academic year. Fall 2026 is the start of the 2026\u20132027 academic year. Fall 2027 is the start of the 2027-2028 academic year.\r\n<h3>Federal direct loans<\/h3>\r\nTo be eligible for federal student loans, you must be:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>US citizens or permanent residents<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Matriculated<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Enrolled at least half time (six credit hours per term) in a degree-granting program<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<em>Please note: Audited courses do not count in determining enrollment status.<\/em>\r\n\r\nReview additional information on the Federal Direct Loan options, including interest rates, fees, and borrowing limits on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/financial-aid\/loans\/\">loans page<\/a>.\r\n<h3>Federal parent PLUS loans<\/h3>\r\nParents of students enrolled in the Accelerated Bachelor's of Science in Nursing (ABSN) can borrow a PLUS Loan to help pay for their student\u2019s education expenses as long as the student:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Has already applied for their annual federal Direct Student Loans<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Is matriculated in a bachelor\u2019s program; certificate programs are excluded<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Is enrolled at least half time (at least six credit hours per term)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Is still considered a dependent<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nReview additional information on the Parent PLUS loan option, including interest rates, fees, and borrowing limits on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/financial-aid\/loans\/\">loans page<\/a>.\r\n<h3><strong>Federal graduate PLUS loans<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nGraduate students may be eligible to borrow a PLUS Loan to help pay for their education expenses <em>if they meet the legacy provisions set forth by Congress<\/em> (see link below), and:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Have already applied for their annual federal Direct Student Loans.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Are matriculated in a master\u2019s or PhD program (certificate programs are excluded).<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Are enrolled at least half time (at least 6 credit hours per term).<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nStudents beginning a degree program in the 2026-2027 academic year will not be eligible to apply for the Graduate PLUS Loan option.\r\n\r\nReview additional information on the Graduate PLUS loan option, including interest rates, fees, borrowing limits, and legacy provision qualifications on our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/financial-aid\/graduate-plus-loan\/\">Graduate PLUS Loan page<\/a>.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3>State educational loans<\/h3>\r\nState educational loans:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Are available to both undergraduate and graduate students (and possibly to parents and relatives), as long as the student is matriculated and enrolled at least half time in a degree program<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Are credit-based and offer interest rates and terms that may be competitive with PLUS loans and alternative loans<\/li>\r\n \t<li>May have both fixed and variable interest rates available, depending on the state<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nReview additional information on the State Educational Loan options on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/financial-aid\/loans\/\">loans page<\/a>.\r\n<h3>Alternative educational loans<\/h3>\r\nThese educational loans are offered by banks and educational lenders as a supplement to (not a replacement for) federal student loans. Alternative loans may also be referred to as \u201cprivate educational\u201d or \u201csupplemental\u201d loans, as they are not affiliated with federal or state loan programs.\r\n\r\nInternational students will most likely need to secure a private\/alternative loan with a US cosigner. If you do not have a US cosigner, please try to obtain a loan through a bank in your native country, especially if they offer students loans in the United States.\r\n\r\nPlease note: The following types of students should speak to a financial aid counselor before pursuing alternative loans:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Non-matriculated<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Students seeking to pay past-due balances<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Students not meeting satisfactory academic progress<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Students denied on previous alternative loan applications due to poor credit<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nReview additional information on the alternative educational loan options on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/financial-aid\/loans\/\">loans page<\/a>.","background_color":"#ffffff","width":"width-medium"}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Nursing Students | 天美传媒 Financial Aid &amp;
