Run the Advanced Award Letter Comparison Tool at finaid.org You can find that by clicking on the link for calculatirs and scrolling down. Finaid.org also has a bunch of other calculators that will help you figure out what your various aid packages mean.
Do you have direct admission to the nursing program at any of these? If so, what is the rate for passing the licensing exam on the first try?
Definitely Drexel (or UMass Boston, depending on whether Drexel is affordable or not). Drexel has great connections to the health field, and it would be more affordable than Temple for you, based on the scholarship information you provided. Go Dragons!
I have been directly accepted to each of the nursing programs. Temples nclex pass rate is 97% in 2017, drexels is 94% in 2017, and umass boston is 88% in 2016.
How will your family cover the cost after the scholarships?
In Umass Boston yo have NE regional fare, probably is more affordable than Drexel.
