Other Graduate Funding Opportunities

DNP – Nurse Faculty Loan Program (NFLP)

For DNP students who intend to work full time in nursing education upon graduation, Clarke participates in the Nurse Faculty Loan Payment program. The purpose of the Nurse Faculty Loan Program (NFLP) is to increase the number of qualified nursing faculty by providing loans to part-time and full-time students enrolled in an advanced nurse education program. Students awarded NFLP funding may cancel 85 percent of their loan in return for serving four years full-time as faculty in any accredited school of nursing in the U.S. Learn more.

GAS – Graduate Assistantships

Graduate assistants must be full-time as determined by their program track. GAs will receive 50% off tuition for their full credit load each fall and spring term (not summer term) for a maximum of 2 years. GAs will receive a $5,200 stipend per year. GAs in positions that are classified as supervisory in nature will not be allowed to participate in undergraduate activities as participants. They may be involved as advisors to undergraduate groups. Pride Scholarships and GA benefits cannot be stacked.

DPT – Athletic Training Positions

There are often several part-time athletic training positions open at Clarke at any given time. DPT students who already have an Athletic Training license are eligible to apply for part-time Athletic Training positions at Clarke. However, employment as an AT must not conflict with DPT courses/coursework as approved absences do not include paid employment. Please contact graduate@clarke.edu for more information.
