If the annual Nursing, Allied, Dental & Rehabilitative Health Job Fair is held in the previous calendar year, the sum of $2,000 will be set aside for the loan fund for the new fiscal year (July 1 to June 30) from the registration fees.  If a Job Fair is not held, the Emergency Loan Fund will be replenished by the amount of interest  earnings in the endowed account from the previous calendar year (January 1 to December 31).

In order to have funds available each semester, the funds will be allocated for emergency loans as follows:

20% Summer Semester - 7/1 - 8/31
50% Fall Semester   - 9/1 - 1/31
30% Spring Semester - 2/1 - 6/30

Unexpended loan funds from one semester may be carried forward to the next semester within the same fiscal year, but may not be carried forward to a new fiscal year.

Application Deadline:  On-going
