Nursing Scholarship Opportunities
NURSING SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Scholarships from the Department of Nursing to Nursing Program Students are awarded each February for the following year. The scholarship awards are credited to the student’s account, with half being released in the Fall semester and half in the Spring semester. The Nursing Scholarship Application Form is to be used for all Nursing Scholarships. Students should attach any additional information as noted in the individual scholarship description. The deadline for all nursing scholarship applications is: February 15th
*Please note that scholarship amounts vary year to year based upon the rate of interest paid or upon private donor wishes. The Department of Nursing does its best to print the current scholarship amount, but cannot be held accountable for the exact dollar amount due to fiscal year and publication dates which vary by 6 months.
For further information on scholarship opportunities, contact the HSU Foundation Office and the Office of Financial aid.
