FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Financial Aid for Post Master

Because the Post-Master’s Program is a certificate-granting—rather than degree-granting—program, students enrolled do not qualify for financial aid through UCI. A number of loan, loan repayment, and scholarship opportunities are available to Nurse Practitioner students. Students are responsible for ensuring their capacity to meet financial obligations.

Financial Aid for Graduate/Loans
