2021-2022 Financial Aid Forms (New Students)

New & Prospective Students Financial aid application frequently asked questions (FAQ)

What is my graduation Date?

The type of program that you are applying for determines your graduation date. If you are applying as a new GEPN student your plan of study dictates 3 years of full time coursework, versus a direct entry MSN student who only has 2 years.

Who should I include in my household?

The Yale School of Nursing is a graduate level program, meaning that all students are considered Independent in the eyes of financial aid.  Your household should include the following:

  1. Your Kids
  2. Your Spouse

The household size should not include:

  1. Your parents*
  2. Your domestic partner
  3. Your soon to be spouse
  4. Roommates
  5. Your siblings

Since you are now an independent student, all forms must be completed by the student. Parents and guardians should not be signing or completing these forms, as all information is based off the prospective student’s information only.

My form is asking for my NetID and Student ID Number?

At this point, we are not requesting that information, please make sure you are completing the correct form, and clear your browsers cookies. The 2021-2022 forms should not request that information, and these fields may be left blank at this time.
