Futures In Nursing is an online career and financial
aid resource that conveys the excitement, energy and
pride associated with a career in nursing to potential
nursing students - as young as middle school-aged –
as well as current nurse professionals in Pennsylvania.
As part of a public service awareness campaign sponsored
by AES/PHEAA and the Pennsylvania Higher Education Foundation,
Futures In Nursing aims to help address the nursing
shortage in Pennsylvania by promoting the diverse career
paths available in nursing, while encouraging new students
to consider and enter the nursing profession.
PHEAA would like to express thanks to The
Hospital & Healthsystem Association of Pennsylvania
for their contributions to the development of the FuturesInNursing
Website.

multifaceted student aid services organization that
harnesses the power of technology and innovation to
better serve students, families, schools and lenders.

Over the past 39 years, the agency has grown from a
small student loan guarantor with a volume of only 4,600

financial aid services providers. Today, AES/PHEAA manages
more than $34 billion in total assets and serves nearly
four million students nationally through its guaranty,

funds generated from its extensive operations are used
to improve higher education opportunities and lower
the cost of financial assistance for students and families
while streamlining the entire process for the higher
education community.
As a self-funded organization, PHEAA provides more
than $80 million annually in public service benefits
to Pennsylvania families - - including low-cost student
loans and powerful Internet-based solutions - - at no
cost to taxpayers.
