Financial Aid

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.

Loans

• CitiBank CitiAssistTM Loans
  Students enrolled in the FNP program are eligible to qualify for student loans through CitiAssistTM. Students should apply online:
