Show Veterans Nursing Loan ProgramA Federal program to assist students in nursing is available. Terms consist of borrowing the money for education expenses and paying it back after completing the course of study. No interest or payment is required as long as the student is enrolled in their program. Up to 85% of the loan is cancelled for five years of employment in a non-profit hospital after graduation. The above program is limited to the Registered Nurse Program. College Scholarship ServiceWeber State College participates in the College Scholarship Service (CSS) of the College Entrance Examination Board. Participants in CSS subscribe to the principle that the amount of financial aid granted a student should be based upon financial need. The CSS assists colleges and universities and other agencies in determining the student's need for financial assistance. Entering students seeking financial assistance are required to submit a copy of the Parents' Confidential Statement (PCS) form or the student's Financial Statement (SFS) form to the College Scholarship Service, designating Weber State College as one of the recipients. The forms may be obtained from a secondary school or the College. VETERANS AFFAIRS It is necessary that all veterans or veterans dependents who attend Weber State College under Title 38, Chapter 31, 34, or 35, U.S. Code, contact the office of Veterans Affairs on campus for the purpose of assisting them in obtaining educational assistance. The Veterans Affairs Office has been established to coordinate with the various campus departments that can assist the veteran in receiving a meaningful educational experience. Coordination and assistance will be provided in registration, counseling, testing, financial aids, and placement. Close cooperation exists with those student service areas that will help accomplish the desired goal of the veteran. The Veterans Affairs personnel will assist veterans in all educational phases with respect to the transition from the military to the college community environment. The office will also provide information on orientation, study skills, remedial instruction, and tutorial assistance where needed.
