Answer 1 :
You should receive something in the mail called an "award letter" this is how you will know what kinds and how much fin aid you will get. If you haven't heard from them, you need to call your schools fin aid office and find out what they are waiting on. Usually it's because they don't have somthing from YOU.
Answer 2 :
Call the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1-800-433-3243 and make sure your application is complete and it has been sent to your school. If it has, call the school's financial aid office and ensure they do not need any additional information from you. If they don't ask them when your award letter will be sent out. Most schools that I deal with process applications in the order that they were received and they should be able to tell you what time period of letters they are working on right now and give you a general idea when your award letter will go out.

depends on ur grades
Answer 2 :
If you live in Florida, and have good grades, you are eligible for something called a Bright Futures Scholarship. go here: http://www.fldoe.org/student/ The public universities are: Florida A&M University Florida Atlantic University Florida Gulf Coast University Florida International University Florida State University New College of Florida University of Central Florida University of Florida University of North Florida University of South Florida University of West Florida There are different requirement for certain levels of scholarship. Depending on your SAT scores and grade point averages, you can get up to 100% of your tuition paid for. The requirements are: Be a Florida resident and a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen, as determined by the student's postsecondary institution. Earn a standard Florida high school diploma or its equivalent. Be accepted by and enroll in an eligible Florida public or independent postsecondary education institution, within 3 years of high school graduation. If you enlist directly into the military after graduation, your three-year period begins on the date you separated from active duty. Be enrolled for at least 6 semester credit hours (12 semester credit hours for early admission students) or the equivalent in quarter hours or clock hours. Not have been found guilty of, or plead nolo contendere to, a felony charge, unless the student has been granted clemency by the Governor and Cabinet sitting as the Executive Office of Clemency. Apply for a scholarship from the program by high school graduation. GOOD LUCK!

Answer 1 :
hai hai there fwend!
Answer 2 :
Look at Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University in Tallahassee. It is an HBCU which offers a bachelor's degree in nursing. There probably will be some training in delivery nursing, but nursing specialties are often learned after graduation on the job and in continuing education classes. You can find a summary of required classes for admission at http://collegeboard.collegesearch.com, but you should confirm this list on the university's official website.
