Nursing is one of those few degrees that you can get for free, if you play your cards right.
And this is one of those times when it pays to do some research, because besides paying for your first house, college will probably be your biggest expense in life.
Paying out of pocket for nursing school is expensive. Average costs range from $12,000 to $35,000 for an associates degree in nursing; and a bachelor’s degree is $30,000 to $80,000. And if you go to a private college for nursing, you could be looking at more like $120,000! That’s a lot of money.
But there are other options. There are scholarships, grants, military options, tuition reimbursement, and loan forgiveness programs. We are going to talk about all of those options today, and I will let you know which ones are my favorite for going to nursing school for free, and which one I definitely don’t recommend.
