Nursing: Mt Aloysius College

Mount Aloysius College and UPMC present:

Future Heroes Nursing Scholarship Initiative!

This is a new partnership with UPMC where students will be eligible to receive a Nursing Degree for little to no net cost!

Students are eligible for not only the heroes scholarship, but also loan assistance and a job at either UPMC Altoona, Bedford, or Somerset for 3 years!

1)A $24,000 Mount Aloysius Future Heroes Scholarship

Responding to our community’s need for more nurses, Mount Aloysius is introducing a $24,000 scholarship to all incoming nursing students from Pennsylvania starting in Fall 2021. The scholarship covers the associate RN degree program or the final two years of the BSN program, providing an opportunity to earn a degree from our premier program with tremendous affordability. This is our part in increasing Future Heroes in our community.

2)Apply for $15,000 Tuition Loan Funding from UPMC and Job Placement at Altoona, Bedford, or Somerset

In addition to the MAC scholarship, nursing students accepted into the UPMC Nursing Tuition Loan Forgiveness Program are eligible for up to $15,000 in forgivable educational loans from UPMC while attending Mount Aloysius. Students in the UPMC nursing loan tuition forgiveness program who graduate from the nursing program and meet employment eligibility requirements will receive an employment guarantee from UPMC Altoona, UPMC Bedford, or UPMC Somerset upon graduation. After three years’ employment with UPMC, the $15,000 loan is forgiven: you do not pay it back!

3)Up to $15,000 of Additional Hiring Incentives Available from UPMC

In addition to the UPMC Nursing Tuition Loan Forgiveness Program described above, upon hiring, Mount Aloysius nursing graduates are also eligible for other hiring incentives from UPMC. Other hiring incentives are subject to change from time to time, but currently, UPMC is offering sign-on bonuses of $10,000 and an additional $5,000 of tuition reimbursement on top of the $15,000 of educational funding provided while a student at Mount Aloysius College.
