Scholarships and Funding
The School of Nursing and Health Studies offers scholarships that reflect its mission and vision. These scholarships are funded by donations, endowments, and institutional resources.
The availability of funding is limited and varies annually. The awards given to selected recipients may differ based on the strength of the application. Scholarship recipients may be asked to compose a brief letter of how the funds aided in their success. Funds are deposited directly into the student’s account by the Office of Financial Aid. All scholarships are open to undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in one of the School’s programs. Awards range from $500-$3,500.
