This episode is about “Difficulty with paying for NP school? Scholarship opportunities for NP students”
Tuition for NP school isn’t cheap, especially if you attend a private school or are an out-of-state or international student💸
Also, tuition can hike up without much notice.😱
Financial instability can be very stressful, and I experienced that first-hand as a nurse practitioner (NP) student.
There may be some scholarships offered by your university and loan repayment programs by the federal and local governments, but, federal loan programs are only for U.S. citizens and permanent residents (meaning not for international students)😢
But there are some more scholarship opportunities available for NP students in the U.S., and I will share the list with you😉

About ME:
Hi I’m Miki Miura, DNP, APRN, FNP-C👋
I’m a family nurse practitioner (FNP) in Hawaii, USA.
I was born and raised in Japan🇯🇵. I moved to the U.S. to become an NP when I was 25 years old after working as a registered nurse in Japan✈️
English is my second language, and becoming an NP in the U.S. as a foreign-born international student wasn’t easy. But, I was able to achieve my dream as well as many dreams that I couldn’t even imagine before, which include being awarded the State Award for Excellence for the State of Hawaii by the American Association of Nurse Practitioners in 2024🏆
My mission is to empower nurses from all over the world to achieve their dreams of building successful and fulfilling nurse practitioner careers✨
One of my mottoes is “WORK HARD, PLAY HARD” (which, by the way, is my favorite phrase I learned from American culture😄). While I see patients at two clinical practices, run an online coaching business, and do many other things, I surf three to four times a week🏄♀️ and go on a vacation every three to four months🏝️
This ideal work-life balance is possible for you….if you learn how to study/work smart!!!💪
