Each fall and spring the Scholarship and Scholastic Committee in the College of Nusing awards many scholarships to students based on various criteria such as class year, program of study, scholastic achievement, area of professional interest, or demonstration of financial need. Last year we awarded over 25 scholarships to 100+ students for a distribution of more than $400,000 in scholarship aid.
Applications are available to currently enrolled students.
