Ways to fund your education
Financing a Yale Nursing degree typically involves multiple sources. Below is an overview of the primary categories of support available to prospective students.
Scholarships
Merit- and need-based awards from YSN granted at admission — no repayment required. Award amounts vary based on academic achievement, financial need, and program of study.
Loan Programs
For U.S. citizens or permanent residents, Direct Unsubsidized Loans and private loans with competitive rates; international students can use the Yale Grad & Professional Loan up to the cost of attendance.
External Funding
NHSC, Nurse Corps, military benefits, and other third-party scholarships and grants may be available to eligible students. YSN's financial aid team can help you identify and apply.
