<p>Penn State is another university that is not known for financial aid. They have some automatic aid of about $4K a year for their selective honors college, and some $2K merit scholarships and some $2K need based aid grants, but that doesn’t mean much for out of state tuition… In addition, the nursing major costs a few thousand more per year than most other majors for the last 2 years - it is $20K a year for in-state nursing majors. Most students spend their junior or senior year at the Milton Hershey Medical Center in Hershey PA, which is about 1.5 hours from State College.</p>
<p>York College in PA. is a place that specializes in nursing and offers affordable tuition. If you qualify for their best merit aid, you might only pay $12K a year in tuition. Their room and board is also reasonable, and they have a great deal of modern on-campus housing. Their nursing facilities were recently renovated and expanded. It is an easy bus ride to spend a weekend in Baltimore. It is right across the street from a huge hospital.</p>
