Scholarships

The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center Fran and Earl Ziegler College of Nursing is proud to offer a wide range of scholarships to our students each year, due to the generosity of our donors. Scholarships are awarded during the fall and spring semesters, and are applied directly to students' OUHSC bursar account. Any overpayment will be refunded to the student. The average scholarship amount awarded to undergraduate scholarship recipients is $1,500 per year.

To qualify for a scholarship through the College of Nursing, you must:

• Be admitted to one of the College of Nursing programs
• Expected to enroll in the term that the scholarship will be awarded
• Must have a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) on file with the Office of Financial Aid by the scholarship deadline. When completing the FAFSA, please use the OUHSC school code 005889. Individuals who are not eligible for FAFSA completion are encouraged to contact Student Affairs at nursing@ouhsc.edu and the Office of Financial Aid.

Applications are completed and submitted through students Self-Service. The Fall 2019 and Spring 2020 scholarship deadlines are posted below under Criteria and Deadlines. Please email Katie Bontrager or nursing@ouhsc.edu with any questions. Application instructions are available for your convenience. 

To apply for an OU College of Nursing scholarship students will login to their Self-Service with their HSC username and password. Students will only be given access to scholarships in which selected criteria is met. For example, if scholarship criteria indicates a student must be in an undergraduate program, graduate students will not be given the opportunity to apply. A complete list of nursing scholarships that are offered in Fall/Spring with eligibility criteria is available for review.
