is there a scholarship & Financial aid list available high school students pursuing Medical,Dental, Nursing ?
Are you asking about scholarships for dental or medical school? Of so, these are awarded by the medical and dental schools who accept the students…and they are beyond highly competitive.
Are you asking about nursing major for undergrad? If so, in most cases, again, the colleges will provide the best merit scholarships. Again…competitive.
What exactly are you looking for? Undergrad or professional school?
actually both. I found Find College Scholarships | Fastweb
In LinkedIn
You need to understand that Fastweb isn’t a place to find big money to fund anything…at all.
We know kids who applied for over 100 fastweb scholarships and either got nothing or a few hundred dollars. Don’t count on Fastweb to fund college costs. You will likely be disappointed.
As mentioned above, merit aid for medical and dental schools is offered by the schools to a small number of applicants who are accepted. My kid got a merit award. Her med school tuition alone was $42,000 a year…that does not include living expenses at all. Her first two years, she got $3000 a year. Do the math. She then applied to a competitive program at her school which extended her med school by an additional year (research, teaching, mentoring) for which she got 1/2 tuition for years 3 and 4 and full tuition for year 5. When crunching the numbers, this really net saved her nothing. She had living expenses for an additional year, plus this delayed her residency entry by a year (where income is earned).
If you are looking for significant merit money for dental or medical school, I think you will be disappointed unless your kid gets accepted to a place like NYU where tuition is free for all accepted medical school students (acceptance rate in the single digits).
In terms of nursing…many states offer post bachelors programs for folks who didn’t major in nursing but have the required coursework done. These bachelors to nursing programs are sometimes fully funded, and are also highly competitive.
Re: undergrad…look at the scholarships colleges offer students. That’s where the money is.
@WayOutWestMom any real ideas on scholarships for nursing, medical or dental school?
wow this helps .Thank You so much … so good to focus on " scholarships colleges" offer students. and direct Programs
There are two service-for-scholarship programs for medical and dental school. One (HPSP) requires entering a branch of military service before starting med/dental school and completing a military residency. Scholarship recipients owe at least 4 years of military service post-residency. Choice of specialty isn’t restricted but the needs of the military come first when matching. The other (NHSC) requires recipients to enter a primary care specialty (FM, IM without subspecialization, OB/GYN, geriatrics, pediatrics) or general dentistry and work in a federally designated medically underserved area for 1 year full time for every year of scholarship received.
Admission into either program is highly competitive.
NHSC is open to advanced practice nursing students. (But not to BSN students.)
Some states offer service for scholarship programs similar to the NHSC.
Other than those 2 programs, any scholarship money offered to med or dental students comes from individual med/dental schools themselves. In general, students should expect to be full pay for health profession professional school.
Both my daughters received modest academic scholarships from their in-state public med school. ( By modest, I mean a few thousand$/year.)
The vast majority of health profession students pay for their education by taking out federal student and Grad Plus loans.
BTW, NYU’s med acceptance rate in not just in the single digits, it’s under 3%.
