Fall 2007 Student Handbook
To all nursing students,
I know many of you are concerned about the Kentucky State budget issues as it relates to replaying of student loans (Kentucky Helps Program). I would like you to know that there are a number of scholarships available to nursing students, all with different deadlines and criteria for awards. For instance there is an After College/AACN Scholarship and the deadline is April 30th. To search for nursing scholarships, criteria and information on how to apply go to and click on scholarships.
