How to Get Free Grants From the Government for an LPN

The total cost of attending a Practical Nurse program (LPN) will vary by location and whether or not the college is a public or private institution. Fortunately there are multiple options available to a LPN student to find free government grants. Whether it's federal or state government, free grants are available. Some states will even pay for much of or all of your LPN schooling if you agree to work for a few years in a community which is special need of nurses.
