:: Types of Financial Aid & Important Questions to ask ::

Scholarship and Financial Aid Information.

Scholarships don't have to be repaid, so they are sometimes known as gift aid. There are many sources for scholarships, including private companies and organizations, colleges, state-based programs, and others.

Some scholarship awards are based on need and others on merit, such as academic or athletic performance. Still others are available to students who come from particular geographic regions or who meet other special criteria. You should start your search for scholarships early and complete any necessary applications as early as possible to make sure you meet all deadlines. Many hospitals and other health care providers offer scholarships, tuition reimbursement, loan repayment programs, and other forms of financial assistance in exchange for the student's commitment to work for the institution upon completion of their course of study.
