According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2012 the nation will need one million additional nurses to meet the raging demand from hospitals, alternative care facilities, and private facilities. The need for more nursing graduates in Kansas City is equally critical. Avila University is one of Kansas City’s oldest and most respected nursing programs.  The newly renovated nursing laboratory simulates a patient care environment where students learn to provide physical care for patients. 

Post 9/11 veterans can attend Avila tuition free!

Avila University is participating in the Yellow Ribbon Program which provides free tuition, as well as textbook and monthly living stipends , for post 9/11 veterans wishing to enroll in any academic program at Avila.  Veterans eligible for the maximum benefit rate may receive these benefits if:

•  they served an aggregate period of active duty after September 10, 2001, of at least 36 months; or,

•  they were honorably discharged from active duty for a service connected disability and served 30 continuous days after September 10, 2001; or,

•  they are a dependent (spouse or child) of a veteran eligible under the criteria listed above.

These veterans may also qualify for other federal financial aid beyond the value of these benefits based on financial need as determined by filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
