Where Do I Find College Grants

[father of 4]

My Oldest Daughter will be a Senior in High School this year and is very interested in becoming an RN (Registered Nurse) I am 100% Service Connected Dissabled so we are Very Fortunate on that since she will be elligable for Chapter 35 Benefits which will pay approx. $850.00 a month to go to college on but also I need help on where I can apply for College Grants at? We are hoping that she will be able to concentrate totally on her college. The $850.00 a month will help a lot but that will not be enough to pay 100% of the dorm, eating, and college fees. Any help in this matter will be greatly appreciated. This site is full of the most helpfull and caring people that I have ever seen and I feel you are all family. I know someone out here has info.

I'm not sure if they still do it or not, but back when I went to nursing school some hospitals would "sponsor" you.
Essentially they paid a pretty hefty part of the tuition and books. In return, you agreed to work for them for a certain number of years after graduation. If, for some reason, you didn't become an RN, it became a sort of student loan. My plan also had an opt out deal where you could just pay it back if you chose not to work for them.
I did this. The hospital I went to work for when I graduated and passed boards paid the entire amount in full. I had no loan. I didn't even end up working for the sponsoring hospital. I wouldn't count on that happening, it just worked out for me.

Tell your daughter to check with hospitals in your area. I know for a fact that the nursing shortage is as bad now as it was when I was in school.

Lot of the grants are based on ability to pay. Mention the Pell Grant to the counselor. It is no repay. Also, there are lots of academic grants available.

Nursing is an excellent choice. There is a great demand for skilled nurses and the need/demand for skilled nurses will continue to increase, especially in the Home Health area.
