School of Nursing Scholarships
(For University-wide and College-wide Awards & Scholarships,
please go to the College of Health Sciences home page)
Definition of Scholarships: Scholarships, in most cases, may be renewed annually provided that the criteria continue to be met (i.e. GPA, financial need, residency, etc). In the case of specific College of Health Sciences and individual department scholarships – these are not transferable to another major. For example, a scholarship in nursing carries the criteria of being a nursing major. The scholarship will be forfeited if you change majors outside of nursing. Scholarships awarded at the University level may or may not be transferable.
Scholarship Applications for spring semester should be submitted by December 1 and for fall semester by May 1st to Pat Grim, 385 McDowell Hall. Application form: click here
NOTE: Many scholarships are based on financial need. This requires filling out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA form).
For INCOMING FRESHMAN students: First year scholarships are awarded through the Admissions Office (302-831-8123) rather than the School of Nursing. INCOMING freshman students may be eligible for need-based federal aid. To determine eligibility, INCOMING freshman will need to complete the FAFSA application (http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/). Tax information is necessary to complete the FAFSA form. Nursing scholarships through the School of Nursing are ONLY AVAILABLE to sophomore, junior, and senior students--they may be applied for in ones freshman year.
