Undergraduate Scholarships
The IU School of Nursing in Indianapolis (IUPUI) administers over $700,000 in scholarships annually to aid undergraduate and graduate nursing students in paying for their education. Scholarships are usually awarded based on financial need in conjunction with academic performance and potential for future success. Scholarship applications will be made available during the spring semester. Several scholarships become available during the fall semester and current students will be notified about opportunities to apply.
Some scholarships target nursing students who are at a specific point in their studies (i. e., junior year, nurse practitioner program, or returning adult student, etc.). Some also look at leadership, extracurricular involvement, community service or other special criteria. As you prepare your personal statement, it will be critically important that you write a statement that will help the scholarship committee understand the following: why you chose to pursue a career in nursing; your future career aspirations; academic achievements/honors; how you will benefit from receiving a scholarship. In addition, you may also submit an additional statement addressing any issues that you did not address in your personal statement, i.e. change in financial status or family hardships.
The IUSON On-line Scholarship Application for the 2009-2010 year is now closed.
The application for 2010-2011 will be available late March.
