Federal Nursing Loan Program
How the Federal Nursing Loan Program works
A limited amount of Federal Nursing Loan funding is available to eligible students in NAU’s Nursing Program.
Selected NAU students will receive up to $8,000 for the academic year ($4,000 per semester).
Meet the following criteria for priority consideration:
- Complete the FAFSA by April 1 each year. No additional application is required.
- Demonstrate financial need (as calculated from your FAFSA information).
- Be accepted and enrolled in the last two years of your Nursing program. (Pre-Nursing students do not qualify.)
- Enroll in at least 12 credit hours. (Concurrent enrollment students must have an approved Consortium Agreement.)
- Meet Satisfactory Academic Progress.
Funding is limited, and meeting the criteria is not a guarantee that you will receive a loan.
Contact us if you’re interested in joining a waiting list for consideration for next academic year.
