Delaware Nursing Incentive Program

If you’ve always wanted to be a nurse – this loan program is perfect for you! It is designed for study at accredited 2 or 4-year designated institutions with programs that lead to RN, LPN, or BSN certification. To qualify you must be a resident of the state and have a major career interest in the exciting field of nursing, and you must have previously demonstrated high academic skills. You have to be a high school senior in at least the top half of your graduating class, and have at least a 2.5 GPA.

This loan cannot be in excess of the cost of tuition, fees, and other expenses directly related to the cost of your education. Upon graduation, it can be forgiven at the rate of one year working in a state-owned clinic or hospital to forgive one year of loan.
