Scholarship Opportunities
Incoming Student Scholarship Opportunities Each year, St. Joseph’s receives many outstanding and academically talented students, and therefore, cannot assist all applicants. Awards are made to exemplary students and are highly competitive due to limited funding, therefore, a scholarship offer is not guaranteed. St. Joseph’s College of Nursing cannot negotiate student aid packages to match other grant and scholarship offers.
General Scholarship Application for Incoming Students
*Note: It is recommended to apply for our scholarship opportunities at the time you receive an admissions acceptance.
Application Deadline: February 1
