The full funding stack at Emory University.
Most schools tell you about federal loans and call it a day. The actual funding stack at any given school has six layers, and each one stacks on top of the next. The numbers below are aggregated from public sources: federal aid limits, state department of health loan repayment programs, the school’s financial aid pages, the IRS Section 127 employer reimbursement maximum, the HRSA Health Center directory, and the major nursing scholarship sponsors.
