DNP Scholarship Process

DNP (Post-Baccalaureate and Post-Master's) students wishing to receive School of Nursing scholarships will complete one application for all eligible School of Nursing scholarships. Bentson Scholarships were awarded at the time of admissions, so those receiving that scholarship do not complete this application.

Students do not apply individually for specific School of Nursing scholarships. The scholarship selection committee reviews each student's application and FAFSA information. Based on information provided and the scholarship criteria, the committee awards specific scholarships to students. Unfortunately, not all students who apply will receive a School of Nursing scholarship. It is strongly encouraged that students seek additional funding through external scholarships.

Scholarship Process

Bentson Scholarship recipients do not need to complete the scholarship application in order to receive that funding each year.
