The full funding stack at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

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. We omit anything we cannot verify.

Honest caveat. Stacking the maximum of every layer is not realistic for every student. Most students qualify for some federal aid, some employer reimbursement, and one or two scholarships, not the full ceiling of every program. Use this page as a map of what to apply for, not as a guaranteed total. The $5,000 remaining-gap figure assumes a single student stacks the upper end of each layer.

UNC SoN offers among the lowest in-state tuition of any top-15 NP program. Combined with NC's loan repayment programs, the funding picture is unusually friendly for NC residents.
