sufficient financial need are eligible. The amount awarded is based on the
student's personal/family income for the preceding year and in which phase
of the program the student is enrolled. Pell Grants are not loans and do not
need to be paid back. Application for a grant can be made after admission to
the program. The grant is awarded after the applicant has attended classes
for 30 days. Applications are available in the office of the Director of the
School of Practical Nursing.
Guaranteed Student Loans
These are low interest loans made to the student by a
lender such as a bank, credit union, or savings and loan association. The
student must repay these loans.
