Getting to the Fun in Funding
A Seminar for Entering Students
Saturday, May 21, 2011
UCSF School of Nursing
Offered only once each year, this seminar is designed to address your concerns about funding your graduate program and mapping a strategy. It's for those transitioning back to school as MS or PhD students as well as current MEPNs who are articulating into specialty training and thinking about a first job as a nurse.
There's still time to apply for repayment programs, loans, scholarships, research/teaching assistantships, work-study, employee educational incentives or diminish debt from MEPN year and beyond.
Just as your academic program will be tailored to meet your educational goals, funding your program will also need to be uniquely suited. Come learn about options from students, grads, and deans.
Newly admitted MS and PhD students, and enrolled MEPNs.
