Paying for your MSN-CNL Degree
The road to become an MSN-CNL program graduate can be challenging and expensive; however, the rate of return on this investment will pay higher dividends than any other investment you could make during your remarkable career. UI's Office of Student Financial Aid is available to help you determine the best way to pay for your investment. The CNL graduate student can borrow up to the full cost of attendance while in graduate school. The full cost includes all tuition, fees, books, Insurance, and additional living expenses such as rent and food.
The College of Nursing is able to offer qualified students a number of graduate scholarships through the UI Foundation thanks to generous donors.
Health care facilities are frequently willing to offer either a stipend or loan repayment for a commitment to work for a given number of years. Additionally, many of the U.S. military branches will also offer scholarships in return for employment upon graduation.
