Nursing scholarships and financial aid
Applying for financial aid and scholarships is a crucial step in your educational journey in nursing. Even if you don’t anticipate qualifying for federal aid, completing the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is essential—it's a requirement for the University's scholarships, and it opens doors to potential funding you may not expect.
The Orvis School of Nursing is proud to offer a range of scholarships generously funded by our dedicated donors who are committed to supporting the next generation of nurses. These scholarships are available to help relieve financial burdens and reward academic and community achievements. We encourage all students to explore these opportunities and apply. There are many scholarships for nursing students at every stage, from pre-nursing to graduate-level study.
Take the time to complete your FAFSA and explore the full range of scholarships available to you.
