CURRENT STUDENTS

Welcome

A fundamental principle of student financial aid is that students and their families have the primary responsibility for financing the cost of higher education.  Student financial assistance programs are designed to help defray those costs, which remain after the resources of the student, and the student’s family has been taken into consideration.

Signature Healthcare Brockton Hospital School of Nursing offers a number of financial aid programs to help students with their educational needs.  Financial Aid is awarded on a needs basis and on the availability of financial aid resources.  No student should be discouraged from attending BHSN due to limited financial resources.

All students requesting financial aid must first complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This may be done online at: www.fafsa.ed.gov. A new FAFSA is required for each financial aid year.

Eligibility Requirements

In order to be eligible to receive financial aid from BHSN, a student must meet the following standards: 

• Be enrolled as a student at BHSN.
• Be enrolled at least half-time (6 credits) for Federal Title IV programs. Exception: Federal Pell Grant recipients may be enrolled less than half-time (3 credits) per term.
• Be enrolled full-time (12 credits) for MASSGrant monies.
• Be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen (legal resident).
• Maintain satisfactory academic progress as defined by BHSN.
• Must not be in default on any federal student loan nor owe any refund on any grant received while attending any institution of post-secondary education.
• Demonstrate financial need (for need-based aid) as evidenced by the results of a valid Free Application for Federal Student Assistance (FAFSA).
