    Provides long-term, low-interest loans to full-time and half-time
    financially needy students pursuing a course of study leading to a
    diploma, associate, baccalaureate or graduate degree in nursing.

    Participating schools are responsible for selecting loan recipients
    and for determining the amount of assistance a student requires.

    To apply for this program, contact the student financial aid office at
    the school where you intend to apply for admission or where you are
    enrolled.

    SCHOLARSHIPS FOR DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS (SDS)
    Provides scholarships to full-time financially needy students from
    disadvantaged backgrounds who are enrolled in health professions and
    nursing programs.

    Participating schools are responsible for selecting recipients, making
    reasonable determinations of need, and providing scholarships that do
    not exceed the cost of attendance (tuition, reasonable educational and
    living expenses).

    Contact the student financial aid office at the school where you
    intend to apply for admission or where you are enrolled.

    YOU MAY BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A LOAN OR SCHOLARSHIP DESCRIBED ABOVE,
    ONLY IF YOUR SCHOOL PARTICIPATES IN THAT PROGRAM.
