The School of Nursing has been awarded funds from the Department of Health and Human Services for the Scholarships for Disadvantaged Students (SDS) Program. Scholarships may be used to cover actual costs reasonably necessary for the student's attendance at the school. Costs include tuition, fees, books, equipment, other expenses required by the school, and reasonable living expenses. Scholarships are provided to eligible students from disadvantaged backgrounds who are enrolled as full-time nursing students.
