All students (including pre-nursing) are encouraged to apply for Forgivable Education Loans for Service. These are loans that will be forgiven by working as a nurse for a year for each year that aid is awarded. Students may apply for FELS before being accepted into any nursing program, so apply early! More information on FELS is available at: http://www.cfnc.org/FELS.
