The University of Cincinnati College of Nursing is proud to offer the Nurse Faculty Loan Program (NFLP) funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA) Bureau of Health Professionals (BHPr) in an effort to increase the number of qualified nursing faculty. These loans, with an annual limit of $35,000 for a maximum of five years, are made available to eligible students enrolled in a Masters or Doctoral Nursing program who intend to secure full-time employment as nurse educators upon graduation. The funds are intended to cover the cost of attendance including the cost of tuition, fees, books, and other reasonable education expenses. Following graduation from the nursing program, up to 85% of the loan principal and interest will be cancelled in exchange for the loan recipient’s service as a full-time nursing faculty at a school of nursing, with a certain percentage cancelled each year for up to four years. A commitment to complete four nurse educator courses in addition to the required courses for the intended degree program prior to graduation is required.
Students interested in securing full-time employment as nurse educators upon graduation are encouraged to complete the application packet, including the application, self-certification, and statement of understanding, and submit it to the College of Nursing Office of Student Affairs at the following address:
Students enrolled in Distance Learning programs must ensure that all signatures are notarized prior to submitting applications.

Whether you're a college-bound high school student applying for Pre-Nursing, or already a nursing student in the College, Army ROTC has scholarships available. Nursing scholarships are awarded based on a student's merit and grades, not financial need. Army ROTC Nursing scholarships consist of two-, three-, and four-year scholarship options based on the time remaining to complete your degree. You can opt to convert your scholarship to room and board in place of tuition, if you should qualify. Additional allowances for books and nursing fees also help to ease the financial burden of school.
Army ROTC scholarships also provide monthly living allowances for each school year. You can earn certain amounts depending on your level in the Army ROTC curriculum:
This allowance is also available to all non-scholarship Nursing Cadets enrolled in the Army ROTC Advanced Course (3rd and 4th years). Both present high school students and College of Nursing students should contact Lieutenant Colonel John Bautch, or Captain Heather Aubrey, at 513-556-3660, or via the web at armyrotc@uc.edu for more information and enrollment assistance.
