What are some ways to pay for a certified nurse anesthetist education? Most accredited nurse anesthetist programs are full-time, fast-paced, and have rigorous clinical and classroom instruction.

A few universities have the option to attend part-time, but many students find it difficult to work while enrolled in such a demanding program. Grants, loans, as well as various scholarships are available to graduate students looking for ways to finance their education. The U.S. Military is one of the options when it comes to obtaining sound financial assistance to pay for graduate anesthesia training. An example is the Graduate Program in Anesthesia Nursing offered by the Army, which pays the student's tuition and educational expenses, as well as full Army pay however, active duty is required to take advantage of this opportunity.

Signing up for active military duty is not for everyone. Those who want financial help from the private sector need to check for scholarships offered by colleges, universities, and foundations such as the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists.
