School of Nursing scholarships

The school offers a range of scholarships. The scholarship application process occurs after you have been admitted and requires a separate scholarship application. The application will be sent to you as part of the New Student Checklist.

Many of these scholarships are based in part on financial need, and therefore scholarship applicants are encouraged complete a FAFSA application early in the new calendar year (Jan-Mar) for the next academic year (Sept).

External scholarships

Students are also encouraged to explore external funding opportunities.
