Scholarships & Grants

Scholarships and grants are great because they do not need to be repaid. Our nursing students can take advantage of privately endowed scholarships, as well as scholarships and grants managed by UofL at-large, or the Alumni Club. And these options are available to incoming students, current students, transfer students, Kentucky residents, and out-of-state residents.
