School-Specific Funding Stack

See every dollar of funding available at your school.

Most schools tell you about federal loans and stop there. The actual funding stack at any given NP program has six layers, and they stack on top of each other. Pick your school. See the full picture.

What is a funding stack?

It is every dollar of money available to a student at your specific school, from every source, layered. Federal aid is the floor. State, institutional, employer, NHSC, and external scholarships all sit on top of it. We mapped the stack for the top 50 NP programs by enrollment so you can see the full picture in one place rather than reverse-engineering it from a dozen websites.

Layer 01

Federal aid

Direct Unsubsidized at $20,500/yr, plus Grad PLUS (until July 2026 under OBBBA). Same for every school.

Layer 02

State programs

State loan repayment (NC, TX, CA, NY, others) and forgivable loans. Varies wildly by state.

Layer 03

Institutional aid

What the school itself awards: HRSA traineeships, named scholarships, departmental grants.

Layer 04

Employer reimbursement

Hospital systems near your school that pay tuition for working RNs. $5,250 to $25,000/yr.

Layer 05

NHSC-eligible employers

FQHCs and shortage-area sites near your school. Post-grad: $50,000 to $80,000 in repayment.

Layer 06

External scholarships

AANP, Sigma Theta Tau, Nurse Corps, IHS, specialty associations. Apply broadly.

Methodology and honest gaps.

Federal numbers reflect the 2025-26 grad aid baseline. State programs are sourced from each state's department of health and education websites; we cite the specific program name and link out where available. Tuition figures come from each school's most recently published rates. Hospital tuition reimbursement amounts come from the master hospital tuition database and reflect IRS Section 127 maximums or higher tier benefits where employers publish them.

The biggest data gap is institutional aid. Most NP programs do not publish NP-specific scholarship offerings clearly online. We left that layer empty or marked it as "contact financial aid office" rather than fabricate program names. If your school has a named NP scholarship we did not list, email us and we will add it.
