The Sinclair School of Nursing offers a number of nursing-specific scholarships for undergraduate clinical nursing majors and graduate students. Scholarships numbers and amounts (usually $500 to 1,000) vary from year to year. A call for applications and announcement of awards is made each year during the spring semester for the following academic year. MU also offers over 100 general scholarships through the Office of Student Financial Aid to students based on academic achievement and financial need, but other factors such as high school attended and hometown also are considered.

Note: While most of the internal nursing-specific scholarships are limited to students currently enrolled in the clinical nursing and graduate programs, entering freshmen may be eligible for general scholarships through the MU Office of Financial Aid. To be considered for general scholarships, complete the general scholarship online application by December 1.
