Financial Aid

Carolinas College of Health Sciences administers financial aid without regard to race, color, age, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, veteran status, disability, genetic information, or any other basis prohibited by law. We offer a comprehensive program of federal and nonfederal aid to assist students in meeting educational expenses.

Loan Forgiveness Program

Atrium Health offers a loan agreement to finance up to $10,000 for students enrolled in Nursing, RN to BSN, and Radiologic Technology and up to $5,000 for students enrolled in Histotechnology, Medical Laboratory Science, and Radiation Therapy. This loan defers payment on principal and interest until the student leaves the program by withdrawal, dismissal or graduation. Payment plans are available at that time. If the graduate becomes employed full-time by an eligible Atrium Health facility, a work forgiveness option is available. The Loan Forgiveness Program is available at the discretion of Atrium Health.
