Financial Aid and Scholarship Resources
Financial Aid
The Office of Student Financial Aid administers financial aid to
eligible students. As a College of Nursing student you are
eligible for assistance and are encouraged to discuss your needs
with a representative in this office. The University of Kentucky
participates in the Nursing Student Loan Program and the Nursing
Scholarship Program which are sponsored by the federal government.
Other forms of assistance, including the Claudine Gartner
Emergency Loan Fund, are sometimes available through the College.
We urge you to contact our Office of Student Services for further
information on sources of financial aid. Student Services posts
scholarship opportunities on bulletin boards on a regular basis, and
applications there are
for your use.
Scholarships
In addition to the many University scholarships available to
students enrolled in all colleges, the College of Nursing has
several scholarships available to students indicating an interest
in nursing as a major.
Scholarships awarded to nursing students illustrate the support
extended by alumni and friends, professional, and community
institutions associated with the College. The amount of the award
is dependent upon funds available from the contributing donors.
Generally, applicants must meet the minimum requirements for
admission to the College of Nursing. In addition to your academic
record, other factors which weigh heavily in the evaluation of
scholarship applicants include extracurricular activities, work
experience, awards and recognition, community involvement,
recommendations and a personal essay. Interviews may be requested
by the scholarship committee.
Scholarship committees will review applications for the
appropriate scholarship based on the individual applicant's
qualifications and the specifications of the scholarship. The
amount of scholarship awards, when added to other sources of
financial aid, may not exceed the total annual cost of attendance
as determined by the Office of Student Financial Aid.
Several undergraduate scholarships are awarded each year by the
College of Nursing to students at different levels. Funds for
awards vary according to the support and specifications of each
scholarship. Applications are solicited in early spring from
enrolled students.
