Can I qualify for student loans or federal/state aid, and does Kent State offer any scholarships?

  1. The most common form of funding is student loans provided by the Federal Government by filling out a FAFSA at www.fafsa.ed.gov. The award range is from $5,500 to $12,500 per year for students who have already earned a degree.
  2. The College of Nursing offers a few scholarship opportunities for students who are currently enrolled in the professional nursing sequence. Learn more about those on our Financial Aid & Scholarships page. In addition, you may wish to seek outside scholarships through the Ohio Board of Nursing and healthcare companies such as Johnson & Johnson.
  3. If you are currently unemployed, you may be eligible for state or federal grant programs designed for re-educating students. Contact your local One Stop, Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation, or the Department of Jobs and Family Services for more information.
  4. Some hospitals and other healthcare agencies will provide tuition assistance if the student signs a multi-year contract to work for the agency following graduation. Contact your local and regional agencies.
