OTHER RESOURCES
Hospital Tuition Assistance
Many hospitals offer tuition assistance to advance nursing students.
Each hospital administers it own program. The Bolton School of
Nursing is most familiar with the programs offered through University
Hospitals and the Cleveland Clinic. Assistance ranges from $7,500
to $10,000 per academic year along with a one to two year commitment
from the student to work for the hospital after completing their
nursing degree.
Employment
Employers of health care professionals often offer tuition
assistance to their employees. Check with your employer for
more information. Student employment is available at the Bolton
School of Nursing and other campus locations. Part-time employment
is also available at local hospitals and other health care agencies.
Nursing Education Loan Repayment Program (NELRP)
NELRP will pay 60 percent of the total balance of educational
loans to registered nurses willing to contract and work in a
critical shortage health facility. This is just one of the programs
offered under the Health Resources and Services Administration
(HRSA) to address the national shortage of nurses. For more
