How eligible UPMC nurses pay nothing.
Three sources stack to cover your full tuition. Whatever's left after UPMC benefits and financial aid, the Pitt-UPMC grant covers — bringing your out-of-pocket cost to zero.
Your UPMC employee tuition benefit is applied directly toward your Pitt tuition.
Any grants or aid you qualify for are applied next, further reducing the balance.
Whatever tuition remains is covered by the grant — so your out-of-pocket cost lands at zero.
Start in the spring term and you can use two UPMC benefit cycles plus two grant applications — potentially covering tuition for both terms of the program.
Grant eligibility is subject to UPMC tuition benefit terms, financial aid, and program admissions requirements.
