Undergraduate College of Nursing Scholarships

The Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing receives funding for several Nursing scholarships awarded for Fall and Spring semesters. The amount awarded is based on the "need" of the student as determined by the FAFSA. Please note that applicants must complete both the FAFSA and the College of Nursing applications to be considered for awards.

The application for academic year, 2023-2024, will open March 1st.

The Palm Healthcare Foundation Scholarships are now administered through The George Snow Foundation at scholarships.org.

U.S. Public Health Service Student Extern Program

The U.S. Public Health Service offers a Commissioned Corps Officer Student Training and Extern Program (COSTEP) for junior or senior full-time students to serve on the frontlines of public health while completing a baccalaureate or masterâ€™s degree. Juniors may be interested in the summer program to gain a paid clinical experience after they complete their junior year of nursing education. Seniors can receive an early commissioning as an officer with full benefits and salary while studying in the senior year. If you are interested in a public health career, we encourage you to apply.
