Student Finance
At Chamberlain, we recognize that your education is a significant investment. More than 80 percent of Chamberlain students receive some form of financial aid. Financial aid is available in the form of federal and private loans, scholarships, grants and work-study to those who qualify. At Chamberlain, we actively work to keep costs down while maintaining the highest educational standards. We will do everything we can to help you earn your nursing degree, including helping you identify all your financing options and helping you apply for financial assistance. For the most up-to-date information on tuition and expenses, refer to chamberlain.edu/tuition.
If you are planning to use financial aid, October is the time to renew your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) at fafsa.ed.gov.
