There are several
options for obtaining financial help. To activate your
consideration for funds available through Oklahoma City University
or the Kramer School of Nursing, file a “FAFSA” form at
www.fafsa.ed.gov and contact the OCU financial aid office for
further instructions. This will open your eligibility for
consideration for state and federal financial grants and loans, plus
opportunities for funding through the university. The university
gives three types of aid, all requiring the FAFSA. All are awarded
through the university’s Office of Financial Aid:
1. Federal and
state funds based on economic need from FAFSA information.
2. University
scholarships based on your GPA and/or ACT. You do not need to apply
for these. They are granted automatically based on your application
to the university.
3. Kramer School
of Nursing scholarships from donors who have specified certain types
of students they want to sponsor. The application for these
scholarships is online at
www.okcu.edu in the Kramer School of Nursing section. Deadline
dates are listed. Only a few scholarships are available through this
route.
2. Decide where
you would like to work after graduation and meet with that employer
to arrange financial assistance. Many nursing students work part
time and summers at hospitals to gain this benefit, plus patient
care experience.
3. Obtain loans
through Oklahoma City University's financial aid office (the nursing
school does not have money to give for loans, just the few small
scholarships from donors mentioned above). While loans seem scary,
nurses are in such huge demand that graduates will be assured of
jobs anywhere in the country they want to go after graduation. If
you do not need employee benefits, you can work for a nursing agency
that places nurses in shortage areas for salaries of up to
$75,000/year after they have obtained some experience. Many
employers are also helping to pay off student loans in return for
committing to working for their hospital for a certain duration
(usually two-three years).
4. Discuss with
Oklahoma City University’s financial aid office all options
available. You may find that there may be other ways of obtaining
funds through their assistance.
5. Check into
military service. All the branches of the military are desperate
for nurses and are offering very attractive packages to students
interested in officers training, service in the reserves, or regular
service.
Finding financial aid can be a time consuming
task, but for families who do not have a college fund to pay for
school, there are still many ways to fund education.
